A nurse in Sydney who reportedly threatened to kill Jewish patients in shocking images is no longer allowed to leave Australia or use social media, the police have unveiled.
Former Bankstown Hospital nurses Sarah Abu Lebdeh and Ahmad Rashad Nadir appeared earlier this month in a viral video, where they reportedly hurt about withholding Israeli patients and even dead.
Detectives arrested the 26-year-old Abu Lebdeh when she went to the police station of Sutherland in southern Sydney on Tuesday at about 7.30 pm, Tuesday at about 7.30 p.m. weeks after the video was posted on social media.
The Condell Park woman was accused of three Commonwealth crimes: the threat of violence for the group, the use of a transport service to threaten to kill and use a transport service to threaten/harass/insult.
She received conditional bail and is planned to appear on Downing Center Local Court on 19 March.
NSW Police Commissioner Karen Webb said in a press conference on Wednesday afternoon that Abu Lebdeh was closely monitored during bail.
“She has a very, very strict bail conditions, namely that she forbids to go to a starting point from Australia, but more importantly, forbidden to use social media,” Webb said.
She added that the police investigation had received a statement from the Israeli influencer Max Veifer, who recorded the video. The statement was received in Hebrew and had to be translated.

NSW police commissioner Karen Webb said that the police investigation had received a statement from the Israeli influencer Max Veifer, who recorded the video
'It took some time to get an extensive explanation, as well as the unprocessed video and when we had obtained that statement, it was taken in Hebrew and we had to translate it in English to make it permissible as proof in New South Wales.
“I don't think I could ever have imagined that an investigation into that complexity, on the other side of the world, would be done, is such a short time.”
Mrs Webb also explained that Abu Lebdeh was accused of Commonwealth crimes because Mr Veifer was abroad when she reportedly spoke to him.
After the police had received advice from Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutor on Tuesday, they contacted Abu Lebdeh's lawyer and the 26-year-old then came to the police station where she was arrested.
It comes after the police had previously confirmed on Wednesday that they did not have to speak with Nadir because he received 'continuous medical treatment'.
It is understood that the situation of Nadir had impeded the ability to interview him.
In the night of 13 February, a day after the alleged anti -Semitic video was placed on social media, Nadir was brought to the hospital in the midst of his mental health.
It is unclear how much of the time of Nadir has been spent in the hospital, and in his mansion of Bankstown, since then.
Both nurses were organized by the Nursing and Midwifery Council of NSW.
