Barwon Health is warning staff to be safe after a female doctor felt threatened by five men in a hospital car park on the weekend. A hospital spokeswoman said the five men didn’t interact with the woman but their presence at the Swanston St car park was enough to leave her feeling uncomfortable and she returned to the hospital to alert others. “We can confirm that a staff member finishing work on Saturday night felt threatened by a group of five men while she was walking to the staff car park on Swanston St. Fortunately this staff member was not physically injured and did not require treatment,” the spokeswoman said.
