Oldham: So, there was this really shocking incident at the Royal Oldham Hospital. A man, 37-year-old Rumon Haque, has been charged with attempted murder after a nurse was stabbed on Saturday night.
The poor nurse, who’s in her fifties, is in critical condition. It’s just heartbreaking. The police got the call around 11:30 PM about a stabbing involving a sharp object, but it wasn’t a knife.
Her injuries are said to be life-changing, and she’s still in the hospital getting treatment. It’s just so sad to think about what she’s going through.
Wes Streeting, a politician, spoke out, saying nurses are the backbone of the NHS and shouldn’t have to work in fear of violence. It’s a sentiment we can all agree on.
Heather Caudle, the chief nursing officer at Northern Care Alliance, expressed how shocked and saddened everyone is. They’re focusing on supporting the nurse and her family during this tough time.
Detective Superintendent Matt Walker also shared his thoughts, emphasizing that they’re prioritizing support for the nurse and her loved ones. The hospital is still open for all services, which is good to know.
Haque is set to appear in court on Tuesday. It’s a developing story, and we’ll keep an eye on it.
