Guelph police said the incidents are unrelated.
“I don’t know if it’s just circumstance that’s bringing these calls to the hospital,” said Const. Chris Probst. “There are times when there are situations in the hospital that can be aggressive and it just happens to be that we have three incidents within a week.”
Security was beefed up at the hospital after a man was fatally shot in the emergency room during an altercation with police in May 2015.
Additions since then include security guards staffed 24 hours a day and the installation of two safe rooms.
