Before the incident

was scanning patient patient squeezed ball and I went to pull the patient out of the MRI machine. patient started swearing and swung and me. I was able to get out of the way. He then grabbed my left forearm and would not let go. I told the patient to let me go now and he released my arm. The patient didn 't get through the first sequence of the exam and I told him I didn 't think this was going to work. He agreed that he couldn 't do it and I wheeled to the lobby.
