The man was initially arrested on suspicion of firearms and explosives offences, but police later said he was re-arrested on Friday evening under Section 41 of the Terrorism Act 2000
A 27-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of a terror offence after he was allegedly seen with a suspected firearm and a suspicious package at St James's Hospital’s maternity wing. Counter Terrorism Policing North East said wards on the Gledhow wing were evacuated after the suspect was detained at around 5am on Friday.
Detective Chief Superintendent Jim Dunkerley, the head of Counter Terrorism Policing North East, said: “This is being treated as an isolated incident and there is no evidence to suggest there is any heightened or ongoing risk to the public.” Searches of a vehicle have concluded, but they continue to be carried out at premises in Leeds. Some appointments, the walk-in service and visiting at some wards at the hospital had to be stopped during the security scare.
