A man has been accused of acting aggressively towards staff at a hospital. 

Arthur Knight, 34, allegedly behaved in a threatening or abusing manner at a ward in Glasgow’s Queen Elizabeth University Hospital on July 5, 2022.

Court papers state Knight goes by other names such as Nicholas Rossi, Nicholas Alahverdian, Nicholas Brown, Arthur Winston Brown and Arthur Knight Brown.

The charge claims that Knight acted in an aggressive manner towards consultant Evelyn Millar and senior charge nurse Yasmin Bagli while in the course of their duties.

It is alleged Knight shouted, swore, lunged at them and pursued them.

Knight is stated to be on bail from Edinburgh Sheriff Appeal Court from February 4, 2022.

Knight was due to appear today by video link at a Glasgow Sheriff Court virtual hearing.

No defence solicitor was in attendance.

Prosecutor Julie Clark told the court: "My information is Mr Knight is at a police office.

"He has identified that he is not fit to come to court.

"I have medical evidence that he is not unfit and was fit to be detained.

"I would ask that he was brought to court rather than appear by link."

Sheriff James Spy continued the case without plea until tomorrow and authorised Knight to attend or be represented.

Knight, of the city’s Woodlands, was remanded in custody meantime.
