Guests of a fancy five-star hotel were forced to evacuate after a window was smashed during an alleged wild outburst.
A 35-year-old man allegedly flooded his room and smashed a window at Sydney’s Sheraton Grand Hotel on Friday morning.
The man allegedly became violent with staff who were checking on his welfare and set off the water sprinkler system.
Dozens of guests staying across four floors of the hotel were forced to leave their rooms about 8am on Friday.
NSW Police said staff went to check on the man, who was staying on the 12th floor, before he allegedly hit them.
Emergency services were then called to the Elizabeth Street hotel.
“Police have been told a 35-year-old man, who was a guest at the hotel, allegedly smashed the hotel window and set off the fire alarm in his room, causing his floor to flood,” NSW Police said in a statement.
The man was arrested and taken to St Vincent’s hospital for assessment as police continue to investigate the incident.
The Sheraton Grand Hotel is an exclusive hotel situated in Sydney’s CBD with views over Hyde Park.
