US fugitive Nicholas Rossi asked to be sectioned after arrest by Scots cops, court told

US fugitive Nicholas Rossi wanted to be sectioned over his mental health after being arrested at a Glasgow hospital, a court has heard.

Dr Angela Cogan, a psychiatrist at the city’s Queen Elizabeth University Hospital, was asked to assess Rossi. She said the review came in the days after Rossi was arrested by Scots cops on an international warrant.

Dr Cogan said Rossi “thought he was suffering from delirium”, but she concluded he wasn’t suffering from mental illness. The witness was giving evidence at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Wednesday in the extradition proceedings against Rossi.
