A man has been arrested after "desecrating" a Koran in a hospital prayer room. The book and a framed chapter were damaged at the Faith Centre in the Bexley Wing of St James's Hospital, Leeds. Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust CEO Brendan Brown confirmed the incident in an email to staff, seen by the BBC.

He called it "worrying and completely unacceptable" and maintained his full support for the police investigation. The email said: "No colleague, patient or member of our communities should have to experience or hear about these kinds of actions".
