Investigators have been told a man and woman were in a vehicle when they became involved in an altercation near the intersection of Minton and Hewitt streets sometime between 9am and 10am.
A mobile phone was thrown from the passenger side of the vehicle before the car came to a stop near a park on Hewitt Street.
