Man assaulted at a home in Brisbane's eastern suburbs RESIDENTS have told of hearing two men shouting before emergency services rushed to a home in Brisbane's southeast where a man was brutally assaulted. Karen York lives two doors down from the Firmiston St residence at Carindale and was home when an assault took place about 6pm Wednesday. Her 12-year-old daughter Bella said she heard two men shouting about 20 minutes before police arrived, but couldn't make out what was being said. Paramedics were called to the home at 6.30pm and treated a 42-year-old man with wounds to his head, hand and arm, describing them as consistent with gunshot wounds. A Department of Community Safety spokeswoman said the man suffered a "significant hand wound" and was taken to the Princess Alexandra Hospital in a stable condition. However, police have dismissed initial reports of a shooting with Acting Inspector Ian Park stating a weapon was sighted but "there is no evidence at this stage that a weapon was discharged." Police will continue their investigations today and Acting Insp Park said he was confident they were close to finding the other man involved in the assault. One resident of 20 years, who wished to be known only as "Jamie," said a woman had been living in the residence for a number of years but he didn't know the male victim personally. "I didn't hear anything until the ambulance got here," he said. He (the victim) just had a bandage around his head but he was sitting up. Residents said nothing of that nature had happened in the area before. The house remains taped off and guarded by police.
