Security quickly held patient back before he could enter

medical staff were trying to formulate a plan for patient,
patient tried to again enter a vehicle. Security stopped him

requested us to restrain him back to the unit. I denied such
request due to the safety and dignity of security and
patient. Patient began to creep towards the car park and
run towards the arm barriers. Security followed to ensure
patient left site. Police were informed by Zeal guard and
