A shocking incident involving a North Carolina man occurred when he admitted to deliberately removing an IV from his arm and spraying his blood into the eyes of two hospital workers. These alarming actions took place while he was receiving treatment for diabetes, as revealed by court documents.

Kameron Gilchrist, who was 25 years old at the time of the incident in March, recently pleaded guilty to two counts of assault with a deadly weapon. The court sentenced him to 91 days in jail, though he has already served this time behind bars, according to the court documents.

The charges filed on Thursday, alongside Gilchrist’s plea agreement, detail that he “unlawfully and willfully assaulted” the hospital staff by using a bodily fluid. The legal documents emphasize the severity of the situation, noting that Gilchrist’s blood, which contains HIV, is considered a “deadly weapon” due to its potential to transmit a life-threatening disease.

During the attack at UNC Rex Hospital in Raleigh, Gilchrist targeted a male and female worker, both of whom were involved in his diabetic care. The arrest warrant explicitly stated that he aimed his HIV-positive blood at their eyes, highlighting the intentional nature of his actions.

Gilchrist was in the middle of receiving diabetic treatment at UNC Rex Hospital in Raleigh when he set upon the two workers — a man and a woman, according to police.

“He aimed his HIV positive blood at the victims’ eyes,” an arrest warrant stated.

Gilchrist, who was arrested in September, was initially hit with felony charges for assaulting emergency personnel before he accepted his plea deal. His attack caused “irritation and exposure to HIV,” according to police, though it’s unclear whether the employees contracted the virus.

Gilchrist was not immediately taken into custody after being charged because he was receiving medical and psychiatric treatment at the time, local NBC affiliate WRAL reported.

Officials with UNC Rex Hospital told WRAL that violence against medical personnel had 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.
