Below are what some eyewitnesses are saying:
"The group of kids is still running around the centre and the Westfield staff are yelling at staff inside their stores to re-open their doors and saying that “there is no reason to be closed”…"
"a young person was stabbed with a very large knife. It was an organised brawl of young people from what I understand.
Everyone here is OK. The police have it under control"
Another eyewitness said "I work in one of the shop, currently we closed our doors but the lady who works for the center management bang on the front door and yelled out ‘NO REASON TO BE SHUT’
Very poorly handling the situation 😢😢
