Nurse stabbed in maternity ward by ex-boyfriend

Georgetown Hospital nurse Ursula Houston of Laing Avenue was tonight stabbed in the maternity ward of the institution with a broken bottle and is now in stable condition after treatment.

Patients and staff were horrified, when the attacker marched into the hospital and stabbed her with a broken bottle and pitched a substance, believed to be acid, at her. Houston, sources told Stabroek News, had recently broken off a relationship with the assailant. The attack occurred just after 8 tonight and traumatised patients and staff.
