Detective Inspector Adam Knee said: “Our investigation is at an early stage and so far it’s unclear how the man has sustained his injuries. We are keeping an open mind whether they have occurred because of an accident or due to the actions of somebody else.
“We can confirm a man, in his late-teens, was arrested in connection with this investigation during the early hours of this morning. He remains in custody and will be questioned under caution as we look to further our understanding of what took place last night.
“We are keen to hear from anyone was in the Queensway Place area between 9pm and 11pm and may have seen something that could assist our investigation, or was driving near the car park and has relevant dashcam footage.”
