A Filipino emergency doctor was reportedly left fighting for his life after a patient turned on him with a knife in the A&E department of Hillingdon Hospital in west London in the early hours of 27 May 2026.
The attack, described by eyewitnesses as sustained and brutal, took place shortly before 3am at the Uxbridge hospital, one of outer London's major NHS sites. Metropolitan Police officers who happened to be inside the building responding to a separate incident rushed to the scene and detained the suspect within minutes.
