A Scottish hospital was placed in ‘lockdown’ today amid reports that a nurse had been stabbed by a knifeman in its grounds.

Staff at University Hospital Ayr and Ailsa Hospital, in Ayr, have been told to stay in their rooms, while a police chopper circulates overhead.

A woman was attacked in the grounds of Alisa Hospital just after 10am, and was rushed for medical treatment.

It is not yet known whether she was a patient, staff member or visitor – but no-one is being allowed out of the sites, which are on “lockdown”.

Cops are hunting the culprit amid reports the woman was stabbed.

A spokesman for Police Scotland said: “We received a report of an attack at 10.05am.

“Police received a report that a woman had been attacked in the grounds of the hospital.

“Emergency services are in attendance and local officers are being supported by a police helicopter and are currently conducting a search of the area.

“Enquiries are ongoing.”
