A man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after a male member of staff was stabbed in a hospital.

The Royal Sussex County Hospital in Brighton was “quickly secured” following the attack this morning, Sussex Police said.

The “apparently isolated and unexplained incident” is not being treated as a terror attack, the force added.

“There is currently nothing to suggest that any other person has been involved or that anyone else is at risk,” the force added in a statement.

Officers have been working with security staff to make sure that staff and patients are safe.

After being called at 8.42am, police arrested the 30-year-old suspect in nearby Wilson Avenue just under an hour later.

He is currently in custody “for interview and further enquiries”.

The injured man is in his fifties. His injuries are not considered to be life-threatening, and his family has been informed.
