A Florida woman has been charged with kidnapping after taking her newborn from the NICU and stabbing multiple hospital employees.
Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office responded Thursday to Palms West Hospital after a report that 31-year-old Kendra Greene entered the NICU unit and removed her three-day-old infant from the ventilator.
Deputies said when she attempted to leave with the baby, hospital staff members intervened, so she took out a knife, injuring three staff members.

According to investigators, Greene dropped off the baby with a family member, so the baby was safely transported back to the hospital by Palm Beach County Fire Rescue and is currently in stable condition.
All three staff members received treatment for non-life-threatening injuries and were discharged the same evening.
Kendra Greene was arrested shortly after and is now at the PBC Jail on multiple charges.
