I was attacked by a drunken punter who's hand injury I was trying to stitch in A+E.
He swung at me with his good hand and when the nurse and I retreated he chased us with a chair until his girlfriend calmed him down. He then did a runner out of the department.
Since he'd given us his details the police just went round to his house and arrested him.
The fiscal prosecuted and he had to pay a £1000 fine and give me and the nurse £100 each (no previous trouble).
(Fortunately he pleaded guilty because I wasn't looking forward to recounting under oath my exact words to him at the time!)
