A Tyrone man has been denied bail after allegedly attacking a UPMC nurse, knocking him out and causing a brain bleed that required emergency surgery.

Bradley Scott Lloyd, 40, listed in court documents as being 6 feet, 11 inches tall and weighing 225 pounds, is accused of attacking a male ER nurse about 9:57 a.m. Saturday.

When UPMC Altoona police arrived in the ER, the nurse was on the floor unconscious with other nurses rendering aid.

The nurse was struck several times about the head and face and knocked unconscious by Lloyd, according to a witness.

Lloyd then fled and was detained at Taser-point by an officer after refusing to follow commands. With a second officer drawing a Taser, Lloyd began to comply and was taken into custody, placed on a bed using soft restraints and sedated, the report states.

The victim was taken into a trauma room where his injuries were evaluated. A CT scan showed a fractured skull and brain bleed. He also had a broken tooth, left nasal obstruction, hematomas and multiple lacerations, the report states.

The nurse was flown to UPMPC Presbyterian Hospital, Pittsburgh, for emergency surgery.

When Lloyd was released from the hospital, he was taken into custody and transported to the Altoona police station.

He was arraigned Saturday afternoon before Magisterial District Judge Andrew L. Blattenberger on three felony counts of aggravated assault, along with 11 misdemeanor counts of simple assault, and misdemeanor counts of disorderly conduct fighting, disorderly conduct hazardous/physical offense and resisting arrest.

Bail was denied due to a “history of violent felonies. Lloyd is also wanted out of Missouri for probation violation for resisting, court documents state.

His preliminary hearing is set for Nov. 12 before Magisterial District Judge Daniel C. DeAntonio.
