A man has been jailed after stabbing an innocent bystander outside a hospital before ransacking the A&E waiting room, forcing terrified staff and patients to flee.
Knife-wielding Yusuf Aka was confronted by a brave female nurse in the waiting area of Leicester Royal Infirmary as she bought time for a person in a wheelchair to escape.
Moments earlier chilling CCTV showed Aka, 22, calmly walking towards two men, stabbing one in a blow aimed at the victim's upper body at 2am on January 16, Nottinghamshire Police said.
Afterwards, he walked through the sliding doors into the packed waiting room and started ripping reception computer terminals out of their power sockets and hurling them around the room.
