A hospital worker was caught on camera PUNCHING a colleague after she asked him to leave the room so she could change.
The footage shows how the furious worker bursts into the hospital room dressed in scrubs and stuns his colleague with a flurry of fists.
She can be seen trying to defend herself as the punches come in thick and fast while another colleague cowers in the corner.

Others then burst into the room and one grabs the furious worker from behind and puts him in a chokehold.
He drags him out of the room backward as the footage ends.
The bizarre assault happened on Sunday (20 Oct) afternoon at Moacyr do Carmo Hospital in Duque de Caxias near Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
The man reportedly works at the hospital as a stretcher-bearer, while the woman works in an admin role.
The hospital hasn’t released their names.
According to witnesses, the drama began when the worker seen in the grey jacket asked the woman to change clothes in the room.
The latter then asked her male colleague to leave the room so she could get changed in privacy.
Inexplicably, this caused him to fly into a rage and he began throwing punches at her face.
The Duque de Caxias City Hall, which oversees the hospital, has confirmed that the events took place and that the stretcher-bearer was sacked.
The case has also been reported to the police, as reported by Need To Know.
After the assault, the punched admin worker was treated at the hospital.
