PALM BEACH COUNTY, FLORIDA — In a disturbing incident, a woman, identified as Kendra Greene, was apprehended after allegedly attacking three hospital staff members at HCA Florida Palms West Hospital. Officials reported that Greene, 31, attempted to remove her newborn from the NICU and leave the premises. When hospital personnel intervened, she reacted by wielding a knife and injuring three employees.

After handing over the baby to a relative, Greene fled the scene, only to be later arrested and booked into Palm Beach County Jail. She faces multiple charges including aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, aggravated child abuse, and resisting an officer without violence.

The newborn, initially placed back on a ventilator, was reported to be in stable condition, while the wounded staff members were treated for non-life-threatening injuries and discharged.
