When Devarajan, a resident of Krishnapuram, arrived at the hospital at 4 am with a leg injury, the incident took place.

When Vikram, the house guard, attempted to stop the patient from threatening a hospital nurse, he first stabbed him. The patient also attacked the security guard Madhu who had hurried to the scene with a pair of scissors.

The security guard received a wound to his arm while the house guard was stabbed in the stomach.

Inpatient care is being provided for both staff at the Alappuzha Medical College Hospital.
