Man Charged With Attempted Murder in Nurse Stabbing

Rumon Haque, 37, has been charged with attempted murder and possession of a bladed article following the stabbing of a nurse at the Royal Oldham Hospital's A&E department on Saturday night, resulting in life-changing injuries for the victim. The attack reportedly stemmed from Haque's frustration over wait times in the emergency department. Detective Superintendent Matt Walker emphasized the police's commitment to supporting the nurse and those affected by the incident. The nurse, in her 50s, remains hospitalized as the investigation continues, with authorities stating there is no broader threat to the public. Local officials have condemned the attack, labeling it 'senseless' and expressing their hopes for the nurse's recovery. Haque has been remanded in custody and is set to appear before Manchester magistrates court soon.
