A South Florida man who threw a water balloon at a nurse in a hospital hallway is facing a battery charge, authorities said.
Kevin Bain, 34, was arrested Thursday following the incident at Pembroke Memorial Clinic in Hollywood. He appeared in court Friday before Broward Judge John Hurley where he was ordered held on $1,000 bond.
"An unusual set of circumstances," Hurley said of the case.
It was unknown whether the nurse was injured but Bain's attorney said the alleged crime was "on the low end" of the battery spectrum.
"If one knew that the only thing in that balloon was water, and you were at a picnic or out at a park, I would say yes, but being a nurse walking down the hallway of an active hospital, having a 34-year-old man throw something at her that got her wet, I would say that could be concerning because you don't know what's in that liquid, you don't know what was in that balloon," Hurley said.
