Jun. 4—LOS ANGELES — A man stabbed a doctor and two nurses inside a Southern California hospital Friday before barricading himself inside the facility, authorities said. He remained inside a room for hours before police arrested him.
洛杉矶警察局下午3:50左右接到电话。杰夫·李（Jeff Lee）警官告诉《今日美国》，关于圣费尔南多河谷的恩西诺医院医疗中心可能会刺伤。
LAPD identified the suspect as 35-year-old Ashkan Amirsoleymani. He was booked on three counts of attempted murder with bail set at $3 million, LAPD said on Saturday.
Amirsoleymani had parked his car in the middle of a street and went to the emergency room, where he asked for treatment for anxiety before stabbing the doctor and nurses, authorities said.
洛杉矶消防局发言人尼古拉斯·普兰奇（Nicholas Prange）告诉《今日美国》，所有三名受害者都被运送到当地的创伤中心。
All three were later listed in stable condition at Dignity Health Northridge Hospital Medical Center, the Associated Press reported.
Helicopter footage from taken by local TV stations showed one injured employee in blue medical scrubs being wheeled out of the hospital on a stretcher. The front of the hospital was blocked with yellow caution tape and about a dozen emergency vehicles.
Amirsoleymani remained inside a room in the hospital for about four hours as SWAT team members tried to unsuccessfully to negotiate with him before he was finally arrested, police said.

Hamilton said the suspect had a lengthy criminal record, including two arrests last year for battery of a police officer and resisting arrest.
The attack comes just two days after a gunman killed four people and then himself at a hospital in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The assailant got inside a building on the Saint Francis Hospital campus with little trouble, just hours after buying an AR-style rifle, authorities said.
The man killed his surgeon, whom he blamed for his continuing pain following a recent back operation, and three other people.
The violence in medical settings is something researchers have warned about in recent years: “The risk of workplace violence is a serious occupational hazard for nurses and other health care workers,” a recent study by National Nurses United found. “Countless acts of assault, battery, aggression, and threats of violence that routinely take place in health care settings demonstrate a frightening trend of increasing violence faced by health care workers throughout the country.”
