Man left with critical injuries after Brisbane CBD assault Sunday morning A MAN was left with serious injuries after an assault in Brisbane's CBD in the early hours of this morning. A Queensland Police spokesman said police were called to the corner of Queen and Wharf streets about 4.15am after reports a man had been injured outside the Oaks Aurora hotel. There were reports that people performed CPR on the man before paramedics arrived. Alessandro Vosolo, who is staying on the 44th floor of the building, said the fight sounded violent and lasted less than four minutes. "Fighting, screaming, arguing like guys getting thrown around, that sort of thing," he said. The injured man was taken to the Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital in a critical condition. "Initial information suggests that a man and a woman were seen arguing on the footpath of Queen Street near the intersection with Wharf Street when another man intervened just before 4am," police said in a statement. Police said the two men were then involved in a fight in which a 38-year-old Arana Hills man sustained a serious head injury. The injured man was transported to Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital in a critical condition. In a separate incident a man, 37, received serious injuries after a fall inside the Orient Hotel on Queen St this morning. "Preliminary information suggests that at around 4.30am, hotel staff and a man became involved in a verbal argument during which time a 37-year-old man has sustained head injuries after he struck his head on the concrete floor," police said in a statement. The man has been taken to the Princess Alexandra Hospital where he is in a serious condition.
