The Elizabethtown Police Department responded to the area of Baptist Health Hardin shortly after 4 p.m. Monday due to a male subject reportedly threatening to harm himself or others.
According to the EPD, hospital staff implemented lockdown procedures out of an abundance of caution. Officers quickly located the subject in question and determined him to be unarmed.
The EPD says at no point did the man present a threat to staff or patients. The man was determined to be of diminished capacity and was evaluated and stabilized.
