Ras Al Khaimah: An Emirati with a serious arm wound escaped from a hospital three times on Wednesday - with police detaining him each time.
Sources at Saqr Hospital said the Emirati escorted by two policemen approached the Casualty Department to get stitches on his arm.
Seconds before the physician started to stitch the wound, the Emirati escaped and the police chased him. The policemen brought him back to the hospital.
Detained
The man was given several stitches in his arm and he was later referred to the X-ray department from which he escaped for the second time and police detained him again and brought him back to the hospital.
The man finally underwent X-rays and physicians decided to admit him to the ward, but moments before he was admitted, he escaped for the third time, with police forces searching for him till they found him.
Samples
The man was ordered to give urine and blood samples as physicians claimed either his condition was unstable or he was under the influence of drugs or alcohol. The man will later be referred to the psychiatric department for tests on his mental capability.
Police declined to comment on the case of the man and the reason for the wound to his arm.
Other sources, however, said that the man was a prisoner and that he was wounded in prison and brought to the hospital for treatment.
