The New York City-run Elmhurst Hospital in Queens must turn over records of a former psychiatric patient who burned a woman who is now suing the city for negligently releasing the former patient, Civil Court Judge Larry Love has ruled.
Fadilja Dervisevic alleges that the former patient, Goldrokh Khavan, threw hot liquid on her and on her teenage son, Razim Seferovic, causing both of them to sustain burns. She claims that the city should not have released Khavan, who had been hospitalized multiple times and whose behavior had resulted in at least 15 complaints to police.
