A man in his 30s has been rushed to hospital and a juvenile is understood to be assisting detectives with their investigation after a broad daylight attack at a major Sunshine Coast shopping centre.

The man was rushed to Sunshine Coast University Hospital by critical care paramedics just after 5pm on Sunday, February 5, after reports of a serious assault at the Sunshine Plaza.

It was understood the man was unconscious and in a serious condition when he was taken to hospital under lights and sirens after emergency services were called to a disturbance at the popular shopping centre about 4.40pm.

He remained in a serious condition on Sunday night.

Local police have confirmed one juvenile is assisting detectives with their investigation and a crime scene remains in place.

It’s understood the attack took place in an outdoor precinct of the Sunshine Plaza, between McDonald’s and TGI Fridays.
