Staff member, volunteer in hospital after nursing home alleged assault

On Friday morning, around 9:30 AM, a reported incident occurred at St Hilarion's Residential Care and Nursing Home in Adelaide involving an altercation between a male volunteer in his 80s and a female staff member in her 60s, resulting in both being hospitalized. The man allegedly assaulted the woman with a weapon, causing upper body injuries that required medical attention but were not life-threatening.
