A nurse has been left in critical condition after she was stabbed at a hospital A&E department in a suspected murder attempt, police said.
Officers were called to Royal Oldham Hospital, Greater Manchester, at 11.30pm on Saturday to reports of a stabbing, Greater Manchester Police said.
It is believed a member of the public attacked a member of staff at Royal Oldham Hospital with a bladed article or sharp instrument which was not a knife, the force added.
The woman, who is in her 50s, suffered serious injuries and remains in hospital for treatment.
Her injuries are believed to be life-changing.
A 37-year-old man was arrested at the scene on suspicion of attempted murder, police said.
He remains in police custody.
The force said it is not looking for anyone else in connection with the incident and it does not believe there is a threat to the wider public.
Detective Sergeant Craig Roters, from the Oldham district, said: “This is a serious incident which has left a woman in a critical condition.
“Our thoughts are with her family and colleagues, and we will continue to support them throughout this investigation.
“The local community can expect to see an increase in police presence whilst we carry out inquiries, but they are also there to offer reassurance and answer any questions you may have.
“We know that news of this nature will come as a shock, and if you have any concerns or anything you would like to share, please speak to them.”
