I've been in a similar situation. I worked in shelter for teens, and there was this 15-16 year old girl that attacked me while I was trying to defuse an explosive situation, and let me tell you that if I had only the two or three things/techniques I had been taught by the shelter I'd have been toast. It was very difficult to subdue her without hurting her.
In fact, a couple of the other clients/kids in the shelter asked me why it took so long to stop her since I hold 1dan in TKD (=first degree black belt) I responded "Because I'm not allowed to hurt her". And she was not on drugs. That was part of the problem, she had been refusing to take her meds.
I don't remember the name of her med but I remember they were heavy anti-psychotics. She was pumped up on crazy.
Funny thing though, afterwards when I returned on Monday we became 'friends'
i.e. I was one of the few staff she trusted. Mostly. She at least trusted me to be fair.
