A man has been arrested after Whanganui Hospital was put into lockdown this afternoon.
Police received a report of someone behaving suspiciously at the hospital at 2pm.
One woman in the hospital carpark said she saw police taking away a man in handcuffs about 2.20pm.
She said she had left
the hospital after visiting her mother but her mum called, saying there had been a loud siren and nurses were going around wards telling patients they were being locked down.
”They wouldn’t let me in,” the woman said.
