A man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after a nurse was seriously injured in a stabbing at Royal Oldham Hospital’s A&E department.

The attack was carried out with a bladed article or sharp instrument which was not a knife and nurse remains in hospital after suffering life-changing injuries.
A 37-year-old man was arrested at the scene on suspicion of attempted murder and remains in custody, police said.
The trust that oversees the Royal Oldham Hospital said it is “shocked and saddened” by the stabbing.
