The Ministry of Health is looking into a male nurse being stabbed in the head by a patient at the Psychiatric Hospital on Monday.
Acting Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Health Wayne Webster confirmed the incident yesterday.
“There was an altercation between a patient and a male nurse. The male nurse is said to have suffered non-life-threatening injuries, but I don’t have the full details because the full report is still on its way to me, so I can’t tell you the name of the nurse or patient,” he said.
Police reported they were not informed of the incident after checks with both communications and public affairs Officer, Acting Inspector Ryan Brathwaite and the station sergeant at the Black Rock police station.
