A male nurse has been arrested on suspicion of indecently assaulting a woman patient during an examination at Prince of Wales Hospital.
The woman, 29, sought attention at the accident and emergency department at the public hospital in Sha Tin on Thursday afternoon.
'It is alleged that the suspect gave her a check-up and molested her during the examination,' a police officer said.
The officer said the woman left without seeking help from police at the hospital. She later talked it over with friends and lodged a complaint at Sha Tin police station that night.
The nurse, 25, was arrested in Tai Wai yesterday. He was being held for questioning last night and no charge had been laid.
'Police are investigating whether there are any other victims who have not reported attacks,' a police spokesman said. Anyone with information should call Sha Tin police station on 2640 5359.
