Written bomb threat temporarily postpones surgeries, diverts ER patients at Ohio hospital

A handwritten bomb threat at Columbus-based OhioHealth Grant Medical Center temporarily postponed surgeries and diverted emergency room patients Monday morning, according to WSYX.

Columbus police are investigating the threat, which was found at 8 a.m.

Officers swept the entire hospital twice and found nothing related to the threat. Police will conduct a third sweep out of "an abundance of caution," a spokesperson for OhioHealth told 10TV.

Services at the hospital will soon return to normal.
