Hunt down the suspect in an attack on hospital staff

The Kozhikode Rural Police has launched an investigation into an alleged night-time attack by a patient on the on-duty doctor and other hospital staff at a private hospital in Thiruvambady alleging unsatisfactory treatment. The incident occurred on May 11 (Saturday) at around 11:45 p.m.

According to police, the man who was injured in a traffic accident was in a drunken state when he went to the hospital for first aid. He became aggressive after hospital staff completed the procedures. Dr. Susmith, who was caring for the patient, sustained injuries in the unexpected attack.

The surveillance cameras at the hospital had recorded the entire incident, which helped the hospital authorities file a petition. Police officials said they had already identified the suspect and would soon take him into custody for further questioning.
