SCRANTON, LACKAWANNA COUNTY- Scranton police are looking for a man who assaulted a patient at Mercy Hospital Tuesday.

Officials say it happened around 2:00 Tuesday morning. The man showed up at the emergency room asking to see a specific patient in the hospital.

But instead of going to that patient’s room the man walked in on a woman patient. Police say he ripped open her gown and fondled her. The woman screamed and the man took off.

A hospital spokesperson says Mercy may add another security step that will affect all visitors. Police are now checking hospital security tapes to find that man.
