This is the shocking moment a Birmingham hospital was forced into a lockdown after staff were confronted by a volatile mob. The gang of young men tried to gain access to Queen Elizabeth Hospital shortly after a shooting victim was admitted.
The thugs were filmed throwing stones and making threats at hospital staff after being refused entry. The group pushed security to the limit – forcing the hospital to enter a partial lockdown.
Footage of the incident – which will appear in tonight’s episode of A&E After Dark – shows Sister Sarah withholding information on the shooting victim. Speaking to camera, she explained: “You don’t know who these young people are.

“They are saying they’re friends. This young gentleman was shot. We don’t know if these are people that want to come and finish the job.
“We don’t know what relation they are. Our priority is to keep the patient safe.”
Despite asking them to leave, the group became increasingly abusive. Sarah was seen being told that one person had been heard making threats to staff.
She said: “There’s just been a lady standing beside that group of lads and they said if anyone approaches them they are going to attack us all. They need to go off-site completely, we haven’t got the security to deal with it.”
The full incident can be seen on the latest episode of A&E After Dark which will air tonight at 9pm on 5Star.
