Wild brawl in Adelaide's CBD (7 News)

A teenager has suffered cuts to his face and hands after he was attacked by a man armed with a multi-tool in a wild brawl filmed by a passer-by in the CBD on Saturday morning.

Police say a “disturbance” broke out between a group of people on King William Street near Rundle Mall just after 2.30am.

Footage recorded by a passer-by appears to show four to six people attacking a male in a blue jacket. He tries desperately to fend off the group before he is pulled to the ground.

The group then retreats before police arrive.

When patrols arrived, they found a 19-year-old male, from Adelaide’s eastern suburbs, with lacerations to his face and finger. He was taken to the Royal Adelaide Hospital with non life-threatening injuries.

Police used live CCTV to spot the suspect, a 21-year-old man from Brahma Lodge, walking on Pirie Street, where he was arrested. He was in possession of a multi-tool that was allegedly used in the attack.

Officers established a crime scene where the Mall meets King William Street as they gathered evidence throughout the morning.
