A middle aged man in Fredericton arrested after he caused an evacuation late yesterday afternoon around 5:00 at the Dr. Everett Chalmers Hospital.
Police say a patient was holding what appeared to be an explosive device which prompted the hospital’s lobby and cafeteria to be evacuated and crisis negotiators called in.
The man was arrested without incident about 3 hours later.
Fredericton Police have not said what was in the suspicious package but it was not an explosive.
