A man serving a life sentence for throwing a six-year-old boy from the Tate Modern has received an additional sentence for assaulting two nurses at Broadmoor Hospital.
The man Jonty Bravery, aged 24, kicked one of the nurses on the thigh and scratched the face of another, causing a facial injury that resulted in bleeding.
In 2019, Bravery threw down a French boy from the London art gallery’s 10th storey balcony. He was given a life sentence and is being held at the high security hospital in Crowthorne, Berkshire.

He was sentenced at Westminster Magistrates’ Court to 16 weeks in jail after being found guilty in his absence last November. The sentence will run concurrently with his existing 15-year minimum term.
Delivering the sentence was Chief magistrate Paul Goldspring, who convicted Bravery on two counts of assault, noting that his attacks were directed at those responsible for his care. The assaults involved Linda McKinlay and Kate Mastalerz in September 2024.
Representative from the Crown Prosecution Service, Jessica Hart, said: “This was a violent and distressing incident for the nurses who were simply doing their jobs. No one should ever face this kind of aggression while providing care.”
In 2020, Bravery was handed a 14-week jail sentence after he admitted attacking two other Broadmoor staff.
