Man stabs nurse outside employee bathroom
Healthcare Security Weekly, March 28, 2005
Police are still searching for a man who stabbed an emergency room nurse at Boston Medical Center last week, the Boston Herald reported.
At 11 a.m. on Monday, a nurse coming out of an employee bathroom reportedly startled an unidentified man who proceeded to stab her in the side.
The nurse, 39, was treated immediately for the wound and later released.
It still isn't clear who the man was or what he was doing in the employee area. Police covered hospital exits in hopes of trapping the man. However, after two hours, police determined that the suspect left the hospital moments after the stabbing.
