Tate Modern Attacker Gets 16 Weeks for Assaulting Broadmoor Nurses

Court imposed 16 weeks after a November conviction for a September 2024 Broadmoor assault captured on body‑worn video.

Overview

  • Jonty Bravery, 24, attacked nurses Linda McKinlay and Kate Mastalerz at Broadmoor, kicking one in the thigh and clawing the other's face, causing visible injuries.
  • The incident occurred as staff tried to stop him from climbing a ledge to harm himself, and body‑worn footage showed a floor struggle before more staff intervened.
  • He was convicted at Westminster Magistrates’ Court last November after declining to attend the hearing.
  • The court heard he is monitored by three staff around the clock and kept in a room containing only a mattress.
  • Bravery is already serving a life sentence for throwing a six‑year‑old from the Tate Modern in 2019 and previously received a 14‑week term in 2020 for assaults on Broadmoor staff.
