Police are advising people to not approach him
A cancer patient from Lincoln had to wait 31 hours in Lincoln County Hospital to get a bed.
Tracy Summerson is immunosuppressed and has stage 4 cancer, but says she was left in a chair in the A&E waiting room along with other poorly patients.“You were just crammed, you were like cattle in a market. When you’re immunosuppressed you’re supposed to go in a side room out of any germ’s way, but they needed all the rooms for consultation.”

It transpired that he had a broken hip. I’ve been in the military for 28-plus years, and that’s the worst I’ve ever experienced in that regard.”
In a statement United Lincolnshire Hospitals Trust said: “Despite long waits, patients were looked after in our emergency department. “Increasing pressure on our A&E departments, often with patients who have more complex needs, coupled with patients staying much longer in our hospitals than previously experienced is leading to a longer wait time for beds.”
