A shot has been fired during an armed robbery at the Royal Victoria Hospital in Belfast.

Shortly after 1500 BST, three security staff were approached by a man with a handgun in the grounds of the hospital.

He demanded money, before firing a shot. No-one was injured during the incident.

The robber escaped in a silver Volkswagen Golf car which was later found abandoned in Forest Street.
