(BLOOMIGTON) - An IU Health Bloomington Hospital security officers reported an assault at 8 p.m. Thursday after a patient allegedly grabbed one of the security officers by the neck.
The security officers told police that 55-year-old Darrell Allen arrived at the hospital with a mouth injury that he said he suffered from an assault.
