By Cloe Read
Police converged on a Fortitude Valley office complex on Tuesday afternoon after reports that an armed man was in the car park of the Crime and Corruption Commission’s headquarters.
Officers were called to the incident at the Green Square complex about 4.20pm, as peak-hour traffic began building on St Paul’s Terrace.
Multiple police crews and an ambulance were at the scene on Tuesday afternoon.
By 6pm, a man had been taken into custody after surrendering to officers. Police said they subsequently found a small tomahawk in the man’s bag.
No one was injured during the incident, police said, and investigations were continuing.
