Four employees of a private firm were arrested on Monday for attempting to attack a doctor at the KC General Hospital.

The suspects are Sunil (23), Nitin (24), Rajesh (22) and Amith (24). According to the police, all the four had consumed liquor late on Sunday night and were causing a nuisance.

The Yeshwantpur police, who were on night patrol, detained them and brought them to KC General Hospital for an examination to check if they were drunk, said the police.

Soon after they entered the hospital, they broke the windowpane of the hospital and attempted to attack Dr Sanjeev Kumar who was on night duty.

The policemen alerted the jurisdictional Malleswaram police who rushed there and arrested the four.Dr Kumar, casualty medical officer who was on duty when the incident took place, said that the men misbehaved with him.

 “They were brought to the hospital at 1.30 am. They were all inebriated. They tried to manhandle the staff who came to examine them. Even the police could not control them,” he added.

It was a matter of chance that the assaulter missed the target and hit the table instead, breaking the glass on top of it, he said.
