A MAN was arrested on suspicion of being drunk and disorderly at Whiston Hospital after allegations staff were abused.
Police were called to the hospital in the early hours of Monday.
A man was allegedly being abusive and aggressive to the staff.
Police say the man attended the hospital due to the bad weather and there was no suggestion he was ill or injured.
A police statement stressed: “I'm sure most will agree that our NHS staff are extremely busy and should be allowed to go about their work helping people without the fear of abuse or aggression from a small minority who simply can't behave themselves.”
The 48-year-old man arrested by police was taken into custody.
