Bomb threats evacuate Melbourne hospital
Patients have returned to a Melbourne hospital from where they were evacuated after two bomb threats.
Sixty patients and staff from Epworth Hawthorn were moved to a nearby park after the hospital received the threats by telephone shortly after 8am on Tuesday.
An Epworth Healthcare spokeswoman said patients were able to make their way back into the building at 10.15am and surgery and procedures will go ahead as planned.
Police also evacuated surrounding buildings and train services at the nearby Hawthorn Station were affected as well as tram services in the area.
Nearby traffic exclusion zones were expected to be lifted.
