Patient caused £2 million damage to hospital A&E in arson attack

A patient who caused £2 million worth of damage after starting a fire in a hospital A&E department has been jailed for more than six years.
John Watson, 57, was captured on CCTV prowling the corridors of Lincoln County Hospital before igniting the contents of a medical trolley last March.
The department had to be closed for 48 hours after damage was caused to a CT scanner, MRI machine and a mobile ultrasound machine as a result of the blaze.
