Just defended a member of staff from a patient that went bat **** and tried to attack her (including throwing a cup of coffee at her) he's a big man and she is tiny and petite (under 5 foot)

He didn't touch me (would have floored him if he'd tried) but I put space between him and her till help arrived.

While they dealt with him, the lady was left alone and shaking, so guided her to a chair in the lounge and sat with her till one of the nurses took over.

I'm a bit shaken up and just needed to write it down.
