A new incident of domestic abuse has emerged in Evia, where a male nurse was arrested for assaulting his wife – who is also his colleague – inside their workplace at Chalkida General Hospital.

According to reports from evia.online.gr, the arrest took place on 21 April at the couple’s shared place of work. The woman had lodged a complaint against her husband on the evening of last Thursday. She had also been issued a panic button, which she activated yesterday, prompting a response from the authorities. The man was taken into custody by police as he arrived to begin his shift.

Visibly distressed both physically and mentally, the woman is said to have triggered the emergency alert device, a system set up for urgent situations. This led to swift police intervention and the subsequent arrest of the perpetrator.
