(BBC) A man arrested after a crowbar attack at a Merseyside hospital has since been detained under the Mental Health Act, police have said.
Six people were injured after a man assaulted staff and patients shortly after 12:00 GMT on Tuesday at Newton Community Hospital in Newton-le-Willows, St Helens.
The 20-year-old suspect, who police said lived locally and was originally from Afghanistan, was initially arrested at the scene on suspicion of wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm, affray and criminal damage.
Merseyside Police said all the victims were treated in hospitals and walk-in centres for injuries including head lacerations, bruising and injuries to their hands and arms.
