Police investigate hugging incident at hospital

Police are investigating a non-aggravated assault that involved a recently discharged patient hugging a staff member unprovoked on Friday morning outside the University of Michigan Hospital in Ann Arbor.

An employee told police that a man approached her at around 10:18am near the loading dock, grabbed her coffee and hugged her.



The man left when another staff member "interrupted the confrontation," according to the U-M police log. Responding police officers were unable to find the man, but he was identified as a recently discharged patient.

The suspect was described as a white male, very dark tan, 40s, 6 feet tall, shoulder-length greasy dark brown hair, wearing blue jeans, a white shirt with “Staff” written on the back, red hospital socks and no shoes.

Sounds weird. Glad the employee is alright. Who knows what the hug meant. What if he stabs her during the hug?

I wouldn't call the police for such a situation unless something bad turns up on my skin though.
