MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. \u2014 Surveillance video shows a man who was a patient at Jackson Memorial Hospital attacking two women who were working on May 30 in the emergency room. <\/p>\n
Attorney Michael Pizzi, who represents one of the women, said JMH executives didn\u2019t release the surveillance video until a Miami-Dade judge issued an order. <\/p>\n
\u201cIf Jackson was successful and had their way, no one in the public would have ever seen the video,\u201d Pizzi said on Wednesday. <\/p>\n
Wenyou Rubin, the patient, attacked Tisa Wolf, a patient finance staffer, and Yanira Eguileor, a registered nurse, and both JMH and the Miami-Dade Sheriff\u2019s Office failed them, according to Pizzi. <\/p>\n
\u201cHe was allowed to virtually roam free, almost unescorted and assault nurses,\u201d said Pizzi, who represents Eguileor. <\/p>\n
The video shows other healthcare workers rushing to intervene after Rubin punched Eguileor three times before she fell. <\/p>\n
\u201cHe could have killed somebody,\u201d Pizzi said about Rubin, 44, who has criminal cases pending. <\/p>\n
Court records show Rubin has two felony cases pending in Miami-Dade County. Prosecutors filed the cases on Oct. 5, 2024, and on June 8. <\/p>\n
In the 2024 case, Rubin faced a charge of aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer and was found incompetent in a civil motion. Miami-Dade County Circuit Judge Alberto Milian presided over the case. <\/p>\n
Eguileor is seeking $5 million in damages from JMH and MDSO in civil court, records show. Pizzi said more needs to be done to protect JMH employees. <\/p>\n
A spokesperson for JMH released a statement: \u201cWithin seconds, the first Jackson Public Safety Officer arrived at the scene, with additional public safety officers responding soon after. The employees involved were immediately offered support and care following the incident.\u201d<\/p>\n
