A shocking video captures the moment a shop owner collapses after being injected with a lethal dose of Rocuronium by a nurse. The attacker, Darren Harris, stole the drug from his workplace and injected it into the victim, Gary Lewis. Thankfully, Gary was able to seek help, leading to his survival.
A horrifying video captured the moment a dazed shop owner collapsed to the ground after being injected with a deadly drug by a twisted nurse. Darren Harris, 57, administered a stolen dose of Rocuronium , a muscle relaxant used in anesthesia, into Gary Lewis' backside. The victim was left 'completely paralyzed' by the attack, with shocking footage showing him slumping from a chair outside his shop.
Emergency services desperately fought to save Gary's life, repeatedly asking the 'calm' Harris what he had injected him with. Rocuronium is a powerful drug that paralyzes muscles, preventing them from moving. It is typically used in medical settings when a patient is closely monitored and machines help them breathe. With these aids removed, it could cause a person to stop the breathing muscles from working and cause death. Prosecutor Richard Herrmann told the court: 'The events of this case involve the manifestation of two of the greatest human fears. The first, it involves and out of nowhere, to all intents and purposes completely unprovoked, indiscriminate attack of extreme violence by a complete stranger in plain sight and in broad daylight. And the second, it rendered the victim completely paralyzed, unable to communicate in any way, even in the slightest of ways, with those who were panicking and those who were trying to save him while at the same time and up to the point he loses consciousness, being able to hear and understand everything that was going on around him.' On July 2 last year, Harris walked into the shop and without warning, stabbed Gary in the buttock with a hypodermic needle. The specialist nurse had stolen the drug and equipment used in the attack from the James Cook Hospital in Teesside where he worked. Mr. Herrmann said: 'It is a matter of great good fortune that the effects of the drug were delayed so Gary Lewis was able to pursue the defendant out of the otherwise empty shop, amongst other things to shout for help and tell those who came to his aid what happened. Had he not been able to get out, it is highly probable, and it certainly Gary Lewis' belief, he would have died alone in his shop behind the counter and in all likelihood with it being put down to natural causes.' Without emergency treatment, Gary would have died within minutes. In a victim impact statement, he said: 'My life and that of my family, friends and colleagues has been irrevocably changed by the violent and unprovoked actions of Darren Harris on that day. I am grateful for the overwhelming help and support that I have received throughout the six months since I was attacked.'
