Suri: A man was arrested for assaulting a senior nurse at a primary health centre in Birbhum's Mohammad Bazar on Wednesday evening.
Rajib Kahar, who was allegedly intoxicated, barged into Kaijuli Block Primary Health Centre and sought to meet the nurse-on-duty.
He started asking for various medicines and after a brief altercation, suddenly attacked 54-year-old nurse Rina Mondal with stones.
The incident happened as Mondal was on her way back home after her shift ended. She was rushed to Suri Super Speciality Hospital with severe head injuries that required 22 stitches. Mondal is now stable. "No internal injury has been found. She will be kept under observation for a few days,' said the CMOH of Suri Health District.
Locals managed to catch Kahar, who was later handed over to cops. Birbhum police chief Amandeep confirmed the arrest and said a probe was on to determine the motive behind the attack.
