A man from North Carolina has been accused of using his “HIV positive blood” as a weapon against hospital staff. He allegedly did this by “removing his IV from his arm” and “spraying” his blood into the eyes of two individuals who were treating him for “diabetic reasons,” according to the police.

Kameron Gilchrist, 25, is facing felony charges for assaulting emergency personnel, as stated in an arrest warrant. Authorities allege that the incident occurred at UNC Rex Hospital in Raleigh, where a male and female employee were attacked in March while providing care to Gilchrist.

The warrant claims, “On or about the date of offense shown … [Gilchrist] unlawfully, willfully, and feloniously did assault [the workers] … by spraying HIV blood into eyes,” referring to both victims as alleged by the police.

The attack led to “irritation and exposure to HIV,” although it is not clear whether the employees contracted the virus. Law&Crime reached out for comments on Wednesday, but the police did not respond.

While undergoing treatment for his diabetes, Gilchrist allegedly attacked the two workers by removing his IV and aiming his HIV positive blood at their eyes, causing it to enter their eyes, according to the police report.

Gilchrist, who was arrested in September, was not immediately taken into custody because he was receiving medical and psychiatric treatment at the time, local NBC affiliate WRAL reports. Officials with UNC Rex Hospital told the outlet that violence against medical personnel has been on the rise, but they couldn’t comment on what happened with Gilchrist due to the investigation and active case.

The hospital said that protecting the health and safety of its employees is a top priority and it is working closely with its security teams and law enforcement to keep everyone safe in wake of the attacks.

Gilchrist has been behind bars on a $25,000 bond and is due in court on Dec. 8.
