Oldham: A nurse was stabbed while working at Royal Oldham Hospital, and it’s a pretty serious situation. The police are saying the investigation is just getting started.
The attack happened late Saturday night, around 11:30 PM. The nurse, who’s in her 50s, was hurt badly and is now in critical condition. It’s really concerning to hear that her injuries could be life-changing.
From what I gather, the stabbing took place in the A&E department, and it wasn’t with a knife but some kind of sharp instrument. Her colleagues are understandably shaken and are getting support.
Police quickly arrested a 37-year-old man at the scene on suspicion of attempted murder. They haven’t confirmed if he was a patient or not, but he’s still in custody for questioning.
There’s a police car parked outside the hospital, and they’re working hard to reassure everyone in the area. They’ve made it clear that they’re not looking for anyone else connected to this incident, which is a relief.
Detective Sergeant Craig Roters mentioned that this is a serious case and that they’re thinking of the nurse’s family and friends. The police will be around more to help calm any worries people might have.
It’s just shocking to hear something like this happening in a hospital, a place where people go to feel safe. The Northern Care Alliance, which runs the hospital, has been contacted for more info.
