Hospital bound Jade Goody confronted by a woman with hammer

Terminally ill Jade Goody was confronted by a woman armed with a hammer leaning over her hospital bed.

The intruder entered the room with a hammer, at the Royal Marsden hospital in west London soon after her husband Jack Tweed had left her side. Max Clifford, Jade’s publicist, told Radio 1 that Tweed had left for just a few minutes to visit the hospital canteen at around 3pm on Sunday afternoon.  Jade, 27, awoke to find the woman holding a hammer leaning over her bed while muttering prayers. Hospital medics rushed to Goody’s aid to get the woman away.  

Clifford confirmed that Goody had not been injured during the incident but was left “very shaken up.

“It’s very distressing, particularly when you are so weak and vulnerable,” Clifford said.

“It has made her even keener to try and get home as soon as possible.”

It has been confirmed by the Metropolitan Police that a 41-year-old woman has been arrested following the incident.

A statement by the police said, “We can confirm that police were called to the Royal Marsden hospital Sunday afternoon by security to reports of an unknown woman being in a patient’s room.

“Officers attended and a 41-year-old woman was searched and found in possession of a hammer and was arrested for possession of an offensive weapon and taken into custody at a west London police station.”

It has been confirmed in a further statement that the 41-year-old woman has been released.

Goody, famous for starring on the Channel 4 reality TV show, has been diagnosed with terminal cancer and has been told she has just a matter of weeks to live.

Earlier this weekend, Jade was christened alongside her two sons Bobby, five and Freddy, four, described by Clifford as a, “very short and emotional service.”
