Overview
- Westminster Magistrates’ Court convicted Jonty Bravery in his absence after he refused to appear via video link, Chief Magistrate Paul Goldspring ruled.
- The assaults on September 30, 2024 occurred as staff restrained him from self-harm, with one nurse kicked and another left with bleeding facial scratches.
- Prosecutors said he is confined to a mattress-only room at Broadmoor and must be supervised by three staff at all times.
- Body-worn camera footage shown in court captured the struggle and a call for additional staff to intervene.
- Bravery is serving a life sentence for throwing a six-year-old from the Tate Modern in 2019, and he previously received extra time for assaults on Broadmoor staff in 2020.
