Jonty Bravery given 16-week term for attack at Broadmoor psychiatric hospital where he is serving life sentence

A man who threw a six-year-old boy off the Tate Modern’s 10th-storey balcony has been given a 16-week jail sentence after attacking two nurses at Broadmoor hospital.

Jonty Bravery, 24, was found guilty of assaulting Linda McKinlay and Kate Mastalerz after he kicked one in the thigh and clawed at the face of another in September 2024.

They had been trying to stop Bravery, who has to be supervised by three members of staff at all times, from climbing a ledge to throw himself from it, a trial at Westminster magistrates court heard.

He was given a life sentence, with a minimum term of 15 years, for hurling the French boy from the gallery’s balcony in 2019 and is being held at Broadmoor, a high-security psychiatric hospital in Berkshire.
