A 72-year-old woman has been arrested after she allegedly switched off a hospital roommate’s ventilator - twice - because she was annoyed by the sound it made, authorities in Germany said Thursday.

德國當局週四表示,一名72歲女子據稱關掉醫院同房病人一台人工呼吸器2次,因為她被它製造的聲音惹惱,隨後被捕。

The woman was jailed on suspicion of attempted manslaughter following the incident at a hospital in the southwestern city of Mannheim on Tuesday evening.

在這起週二晚間發生於西南部曼海姆市一家醫院的事件後,這名女子因涉嫌殺人未遂罪入獄。

Police and prosecutors said in a statement that the suspect is alleged to have switched off a 79-year-old woman’s ventilator and, despite then being told by staff that it was vital for the patient, switched it off again later in the evening.

警方和檢察官在聲明中說,這名嫌犯據稱關掉一名79歲婦女的人工呼吸器,儘管職員後來告知,那對這名病人非常重要,她在稍後晚間又關了一次。

The older patient had to be revived and, while her life is not in danger, still requires intensive care, authorities said.

當局說,那位比較年長的病人必須使其甦醒,雖然沒有生命危險,但仍需要加護照顧。
