The nurse at the centre of a case of alleged patient abuse in Victoria, that was caught on camera, has been stood down, news.com.au reports.
The 30-year-old nurse is being investigated for a number of alleged assaults of patient Billy Aivaliotis, 33, Victoria Police have confirmed.
The nurse has been interviewed and was released pending further inquiries, a spokeswoman said.
The footage filmed on January 22 shows Mr Aivaliotis being grabbed by the throat and shoved roughly down on to a bed. His family suspected some sort of abuse was occurring because Mr Aivaliotis had been seen with several unexplained bruises, and had lost a lot of weight, so they set up a hidden camera in his room at Caulfield Hospital.
