UPDATE: Arrest made at Mansfield hospital

An arrest has been made at a Mansfield hospital, where an incident took place earlier today (Wednesday, May 30).

Emergency services were called to St Andrew’s Hospital, in Sherwood Avenue - which provides specialist medium and low secure services - at just after 11am.

A spokeswoman for St Andrew’s said: “We support exceptionally vulnerable people and have a duty of care which we take very seriously. Due to the acute nature of some of our patients’ illnesses, incidents while rare do sometimes occur. “Occasionally we do require support from outside services. There was a minor incident earlier today at our Nottinghamshire site, which the emergency services robustly responded to. Following this, we can confirm that an arrest was subsequently made”
