Police were called to the alleged incident in Olinda and Russell streets about 7.45am.

Earlier

POLICE believe two people in cars that crashed in Quarry Hill this morning knew each other.

One man is assisting officers with their enquiries following the incident near the Queens Arms Hotel on Russell Street.

Police are yet to establish the exact circumstances of the crash because neither of the people involved speak English, Sergeant Mark Bell said.

However, officers believe they may have had a dispute before the crash.

A police interpreter is currently being sourced to help with the investigation, Sergeant Bell said.

"So it's taking a little longer than it normally would," he said.

One car was still at the scene in the hours after the crash and had a smashed-in boot.
