Hospital patient arrested for allegedly switching off neighbor's 'noisy' oxygen machine

A hospital patient has been arrested after she allegedly twice switched off the oxygen equipment on which a fellow patient depended because it was too noisy, German authorities have said.

The public prosecutor’s office in the southwest German city of Mannheim obtained a warrant for the 72-year-old woman’s arrest and she was brought before the magistrate and investigating judge of Mannheim Local Court on Wednesday.

She was later admitted to a “correctional facility,” the police headquarters and public prosecutor’s office in Mannheim said in a statement.


The 79-year-old woman had to be resuscitated and is still receiving intensive medical care.

I keep the machine in another room so I don't have to hear it all night.
