A hospital nurse has described the moment a patient shouted and swore at her hours before he was found unconscious on a train with a fatal brain injury.

Warsame Warsame, 24, died on March 4, 2013, two days after being found comatose on board a train traveling between Wimbledon and Raynes Park. Rhys Stacey Parchment, 25, is standing trial at Blackfriars Crown Court accused of killing Mr Warsame by punching him twice in the head during a confrontation on board a different train hours earlier, causing a bleed on the brain. Mr Stacey Parchment, from New Barnes Avenue in Mitcham, denies manslaughter. Previously the court had heard how Mr Warsame, who was living at the YMCA in Surbiton, was taking anti-psychotic medication, but had not been taking the drugs in the days before his death. The court heard how, on the evening of March 1, Mr Warsame left the YMCA returning just after 3am and started complaining his heart was beating very fast.

Paramedics found Mr Warsame’s heart rate was 146 beats per minute – a regular heart beat is between 60 and 100. Mr Warsame admitted he had stopped taking some of his medication, including Resperidone, an antipsychotic drug used to treat schizophrenia. A YMCA staff member offered to accompany him back to his room to get a coat. After the pair emerged from the lift, Mr Warsame falsely claimed the worker “hits women”, and staff called the police.

Mr Warsame then absconded from the hospital. He turned up at St Helier Hospital in Carshalton later that morning for his dialysis treatment. There, he shouted at Geraldine Marchesi, a nurse he knew, telling her to “stop messing with my f***ing head” after she said she would not be the person administering his dialysis.

Another witness statement read out in court from Patricia Longhurst, a health care assistant at St Helier Hospital, described Mr Warsame as a "likable and pleasant young man", who liked to entertain hosptal staff by showing off his dancing skills. The trail continues.
