A SUSPECT has been taken into custody after allegedly stabbing a doctor and two nurses inside a California hospital on Friday, said the Los Angeles Police Department.
The stabbing was reported inside a building at Encino Hospital Medical Center.
According to local reports, the suspect had barricaded himself inside the building.
The suspect was described as a man in his 30s who abandoned his car in the middle of Ventura Boulevard before walking directly into the hospital emergency room and asking for treatment for anxiety.
Soon after, he allegedly began stabbing multiple people.
A victim was transported from that hospital to another hospital nearby, said authorities. Multiple people were seen being taken out of stretchers.
LAPD and the Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics have responded to the scene.
Stabbing victims were transported to a trauma center by authorities.
One victim that was wheeled out of the medical center appeared to be wearing a hospital uniform and another seemed to be a patient.
