Witness Mark said he saw a man being treated by paramedics.
“The police had the corner of Elizabeth and Lonsdale locked off,” he said.
“They had one bloke in handcuffs sitting on the ground, and there was a tradie just around the corner getting his hand taped up, bandaged.”
He said the man was conscious and talking.
