A spokeswoman said: “Police stopped the victim and he voluntarily attended the Royal Free where, while waiting to be assessed by psychiatric nurses, he further exposed himself. His behaviour shocked those present and he was arrested by police for outraging public decency and taken to Kentish Town police station.”
A Royal Free spokeswoman said: “The trust is dedicated to providing an environment that is safe for staff, patients and visitors.
“Our security team patrol the hospital site around the clock, respond to any incidents which occur and report them to the police where needed. We have robust procedures in place to ensure appropriate action is taken and support is put in place when assaults on staff happen.”
