A nurse has been suspended after she dragged a patient by her legs at a care home.
Mabel Ozimora was working at Oaktree Manor, in Heath Road, Tendring, when a patient became violent towards staff.
A Nursing and Midwifery hearing heard three of her colleagues attempted to restrain the patient, but she broke free.
Ozimora then stepped in, grabbing the patient by her legs and dragging her back into her room.
Staff who witnessed the incident said they were shocked, the hearing was told.
Partnerships in Care, which runs the home, said it dismissed Ozimora in September 2013 after an internal investigation into the incident.
