He found Resident 11 hitting Resident 10. Resident 13 pulled the attacker off the victim and positioned himself between them to protect Resident 10. Resident 11 then left the room.
Resident 14, who shared the room with the victim, provided a more detailed account of the assault. When she walked into the room, she found Resident 11 on top of Resident 10, punching her in the face.
Other residents and nurses rushed in to help remove the attacker from the victim, according to Resident 14's statement.
