Overview
- The man removed his 76-year-old mother without medical discharge, refused to sign a voluntary release, and returned to the Instituto Médico Platense around 9 p.m. Friday.
- Wielding a tire iron or “llave cruz,” he shattered entrance and guard-area glass and threatened staff, telling one worker, “Leave if you don’t want your life in danger.”
- Security cameras recorded the entire sequence, and clinic authorities handed the footage to police to aid identification.
- The institute filed a complaint at Comisaría 1ª; the case is under UFI No. 9, led by prosecutor Pablo Iacarino, and Guarantees Court No. 6, with no injuries reported.
- Police are searching for the attacker, the clinic reinforced security and resumed care after assessing damage, and staff reported a week of prior aggression by the family including a shove to a doctor.
