A 39-year-old man has been placed under police guard after allegedly slashing and assaulting staff at Sydney’s Westmead Hospital. New South Wales police said two security guards, aged 25 and 24, were attacked at the hospital at 11.30pm on Friday, while a third guard suffered a dislocated shoulder. “They were cut rather than stabbed and there wasn’t any penetration,” A police spokesperson said. A 29-year-old male nurse also sustained minor injuries during the incident.
He has not been charged and will be interviewed by police once he leaves the hospital. Police will look at the man’s mental health and drug use history to see whether they contributed to the alleged attack, as investigations continue. The “senseless violence” on hospital staff is horrifying, Health Services Union NSW secretary Gerard Hayes said. “For the workers on the receiving end, the trauma will continue long after the physical scars have healed,” he said.
