Mr Murphy, aged 41, who only gave his surname, said a member of staff 'snapped his arm behind his back' after leaving the ward where his relative had died at Sandwell General Hospital on January 15, 2021.

As a result, he lost his job, can no longer work and relies on PIP to get by.

Mr Murphy said the altercation took place when he and another cousin went to go for a cigarette after receiving the awful news, only to be told by security they would not be allowed to return to the ward if they went outside.

Mr Murphy said he changed his mind and turned around, but was 'grabbed by security' near a lift before a 'small verbal altercation' took place.
