An eyewitness has told Ray Hadley about a dramatic incident at Westmead Hospital on Monday.

A man and woman were visiting a relative at the Emergency Department when the man began intimidating staff.

A senior female staff member made it clear his behaviour was unacceptable and directed him to return to the waiting room.

That’s when witnesses say the man snapped and allegedly threatened to kill the staff member.

Fortunately, three police were nearby but what ensued “was a disgrace,” says Ray.

“A violent struggle, two security, three police and two doctors to subdue this raving lunatic.”

It was at this point, the man’s wife got involved and allegedly began throwing punches at a doctor.

A supervisor at the hospital reportedly told the staff member involved to “get back to work and forget it happened”.

NSW Police have provided a statement (see below) saying, “charges are expected to be laid”.

Ray will be following up to make sure that’s the case.

“If they haven’t been charged, the question I’ll be asking the police commissioner is, why not?”
