A nurse is in critical condition after sustaining ‘life changing’ injuries following reports of a stabbing on Saturday night.
Police have arrested a 37-year-old man on suspicion of attempted murder after a woman in her 50s was attacked at 11:30pm in Royal Oldham Hospital.
Detective Sergeant Craig Roters from GMP’s Oldham district said: “This is a serious incident which has left a woman in a critical condition.
“Our thoughts are with her family and colleagues, and we will continue to support them throughout this investigation.
“The local community can expect to see an increase in police presence whilst we carry out enquiries, but they are also there to offer reassurance and answer any questions you may have.
“We know that news of this nature will come as a shock, and if you have any concerns or anything you would like to share, please speak to them.”
The police are not looking for anybody else in relation to the incident and don’t believe there is a threat to the wider public.
