Police have arrested a woman following reports of a staff member being stabbed at New Cross Hospital in Wolverhampton on Tuesday.

The 47-year-old woman was arrested just after midday yesterday on suspicion of perverting the course of justice.

She remains in police custody as enquiries continue to establish exactly what happened and officers are working closely with the hospital on this. At this time we’re not looking for anyone else in connection with the crime.

A man arrested by officers at the scene yesterday has been de-arrested and is no longer part of enquiries.

The woman who was hurt in the incident was discharged from hospital yesterday evening following treatment for minor injuries.
