Dr Rafia Lahooti, inset, was threatened with a dagger as she walked home from Poole Hospital A DOCTOR has suffered sleepless nights after she was threatened by a man with a dagger as she walked home from a Dorset hospital. Dr Rafia Lahooti was confronted by three people before a man said ‘I’m just going to stab you right now’, pulled out the knife and held it to her chest. The clinical fellow, who works in the oral and maxillofacial surgery department at Poole Hospital, said two members of the public saw what was happening in Seldown Lane and rushed to help her.
“I haven’t slept for three nights.” The 32-year-old, who has worked at Poole Hospital for more than a year, said she was left scared and confused about what had happened. She said the people who threatened her, two women and a man, were in their mid-twenties and they did not cover their faces. Dr Lahooti added: “People going to and from work at the hospital need to know this is happening. The whole situation was very difficult. Everyone is fighting their own battles, but if something like this happens it just puts you down immediately. Dr Lahooti said she had finished theatres late that day, which is not unusual, before beginning her normal walk home past Parkstone House and into Seldown Lane.
