The man who threw a little boy off the 10th floor of the Tate Modern has been given a 16-week jail term after he attacked two nurses at Broadmoor hospital where he is currently serving a life sentence.
Jonty Bravery, 24, was found guilty of assaulting clawing one in the face until she bled and kicking another in the thigh, the court was told.
The nurses had been trying to prevent him from climbing onto a ledge so he could throw himself from it, Westminster magistrates court was told.
In 2020 Bravery was given a life sentence, with a minimum term of 15 years, for throwing a French six-year-old boy on a family holiday to London from the Tate’s viewing platform. He is being held at Broadmoor, a high-security psychiatric hospital in Berkshire.
Miraculously the boy survived but was left with life-changing injuries, including a bleed on the brain and broken bones.
Recently his parents provided an update on his condition, revealing that their “little knight”, now aged 12, can run, jump, and swim.
“He can’t do it like other children his age, of course, but we can no longer describe what he does in any other way than by saying it’s running, jumping, and swimming,” wrote his parents on a GoFundMe page set up to pay for his medical costs.
Bravery will serve the 16-week sentence, handed down on Thursday, 8 January, concurrently with the 15-year term.
Bravery refused to appear at the hearing via video link.
