New details were released on Wednesday in the attack on a nurse by one of her patients that left her in critical condition.

A patient who investigators say broke essentially every bone in a nurse’s face, likely leaving her blind, now faces a hate crime enhancement charge in addition to an attempted second-degree murder charge.

A patient faces an attempted murder charge after beating a nurse so badly he broke 'essentially every bone' in her face and may have left her blind.

Stephen Scantlebury was a Baker Act-patient at Palms West Hospital in Loxahatchee Tuesday when he allegedly broke nearly every bone in the victim's face and doctors say there is a high likelihood that she will lose the use of both eyes.
