Drinkers 'raided London hospitals for alcohol-based hand gel'

A man who nearly died from drinking hand gel containing alcohol, has detailed how he was part of a group which systematically raided London hospitals for a drink.

Bartek, 30, who has received treatment in his native Poland, lost 1.5 litres of blood in a haemorrhage caused by his habit.

Meanwhile, Freedom of Information requests revealed dozens of reports of thefts across seven hospitals.

Experts warn that there are serious health risks involved.
