A man has been charged with attempted first-degree murder for attacking a nurse last month at the Elgin Mental Health Center, authorities said.

Travis Turner, 18, is accused of punching a nurse in the face and head and knocking her to the floor on July 17, according to a news release from the Kane County state's attorney's office. The attack happened while Turner was a patient at the facility.

The nurse suffered life-threatening injuries to her face, skull and upper body. She remains hospitalized.

Turner also faces two counts of aggravated battery.
