When they were asked to leave, one of the suspects spit on a Miami Valley North Hospital police officer, the spokesperson said. When the officer attempted to physically arrest the suspect, the other family members started to hit both the MVHN police officer and another security officer.

The initial suspect ran out of the building to a car, where she was finally arrested, according to the spokesperson. Clayton police responded with Englewood officers and arrested three suspects. A fourth is alleged to have left the scene.

The Miami Valley North police officer had cuts to his hand, above his left eyebrow, and his nose. The security officer had scratches to his eyes, face, and wrist and bruises on his forehead.
