"Ongoing major incident": UK police cordon off, shut down hospital until Thursday

Patients have been told to stay away from a hospital in England until Thursday due to a “major incident”. A local journalist says there appears to be blood outside the hospital entrance.

“We are awaiting police statement on Birkby incident,” Andrew Robinson of the Huddersfield Examiner said. “Appears to be blood on pavement and wall at hospital entrance on Birkby Hall Road.”
