Foaming at the mouth during abuse in Cork A&E

Seven people sitting on hospital trolleys in an emergency unit had their anxiety increased by a man foaming at the mouth who clenched his fists and shouted abuse at medical staff.

Inspector Eileen Foster said yesterday that this incident occurred at the emergency department of Mercy University Hospital shortly before 9pm on August 7 of this year.

Garda Sheena Murray responded to a call to the hospital and found a man sitting on a chair verbally abusing members of staff and shouting, “fucking c***s”. He also shouted, “fuck ye all”.
