He is now facing trial for second degree rape.

A nurse who was allegedly caught red-handed raping a female patient with serious brain injury was reportedly held hostage at a New York City hospital until security officials came to whisk him away.

According to New York Post, a nurse on duty was said to have bumped into the alleged perpetrator, Keith Nembhard, 37, while he was sexually assaulting the woman.

Officials at Bronx-Lebanon Hospital called security straight away and the suspect was held until police arrived.

Keith Nembhard is facing a charge of second-degree rape.

Nembhard reportedly knew the 32-year-old victim, but doctors said the patient’s injuries meant she was unable to give consent to sexual intercourse.

The incident happened earlier this month and police have since released details about it.

Bronx-Lebanon Hospital was at the centre of another serious incident in June when Dr Henry Bollo shot dead a colleague and injured six others after going on a shooting spree.

He then shot himself dead.
