Matthew told the inquiry that after police arrived on the scene, he escorted officers over to the area where the assault took place.
He said he mentioned to the officers that he was told a knife was present, and had been kicked under a conveyor belt.
“The only other thing I mentioned to police on the way up is that I actually thought he was, I felt like he had some kind of mental illness to be honest, or he was mentally unstable,” he said.
Matthew added he was not sure of his exact wording at the time.
He said he found the incident “very unusual” due to Valdo Calocane’s response at the time.
Calocane did not seek to defend his actions, Matthew said.
Matthew also felt Calocane was “almost looking through” him when he intervened.
He said Calocane was “pacing back and forth” after assaulting the workers.
