Three pedestrians received minor injuries when the collapse caused debris and scaffolding from the work site to blow out on to the footpath on Pitt Street just after 4pm.

More than 20 workers on the site, where the old Greater Union cinema stood, were lucky to escape unharmed, police said.

It is not yet known what caused the collapse but the Construction Forestry Mining and Energy Union says a worker was operating an excavator on the site when he felt the slab beneath him vibrate strangely.

“We had a worker operating a machine on a 20 metre by 20 metre slab, he felt some rumbles on the slab, he felt the slab was about to go,” CFMEU assistant state secretary Brian Parker said.

“The slab did eventually go and when it went he rode it down in the machine.

“He had enough time to brace himself which was lucky.”

Mr Parker called on state and federal governments to set up a taskforce to investigate worksite problems.

City Central local area commander, Superintendent Mick Fuller, said the timing and location of the accident meant that many more people could have been hurt.

“We’re very lucky that no one was killed,” Superintendent Fuller said.

Van Chi Dang, 31, died from brain injuries after the fight outside the Star Hotel during the early hours of May 23.

The 24-year-old from Baulkham Hills, in Sydney’s northwest, handed himself into City Central police station yesterday afternoon.

He was charged with murdering Dang and is due to appear at Central Local Court this morning.

A number of men were involved in the fight, at the corner of Sussex and Goulburn streets, which left Mr Dang motionless on the footpath.

Police arrested three people at the scene, charging one with affray (not linked to Mr Dang’s injuries) and releasing the other two without charge.

The victim’s brother, Van Thoi Dang, joined police appeals to catch the person responsible, saying his brother had loved life and was a bit of a “smart arse” but not a violent man.

A Sydney man has been jailed for at least 13 years, for murdering a Korean teenager in the city’s CBD.

20-year-old Michael Lee pleaded guilty to killing Joon Yup Lee, in March 2008.

Lee and a co-offender chased the victim into a laneway, where he was beaten with a hammer and stabbed.

Lee was been sentenced to a maximum 19 years prison.

• Richie flown in to open shopping mall
• $200,000 fee for just three days’ work
• She got $30,000 goodie bag plus expenses

After a hectic three days of cutting ribbons, cocktail functions, interviews, a Sydney Harbour lunch and even a private visit to Sydney’s Taronga Zoo with daughter Harlow, US socialite Nicole Richie left Australia yesterday $300,000 richer.

Richie was brought to Sydney for the re-opening of the MidCity shopping centre in the heart of the CBD.

But bringing a woman famous mainly for her friendship with Paris Hilton and engagement to rocker Joel Madden does not come cheap.

She was paid a fee of $200,000 plus first-class airfares valued at $72,000 for her, two-year-old Harlow, Harlow’s nanny and PR agent Nicole Perna.

Richie stayed in a suite at the Four Seasons Hotel on George St (value $36,000) and had a daily allowance. And she acquired $30,000 in clothing, accessories, watches, jewellery and sunglasses.

MidCity project manager Sam Sproats said the co-owners were “absolutely chuffed” with the results.

“The whole thing has been fantastic and we’ve got far more in PR value than we expected,” Mr Sproats said.

Police are appealing for public help to identify a man responsible for a glassing attack early today in a Sydney hotel.

The attacker picked up a glass and struck the victim in the left side of the head, inflicting a 3cm cut.

The assailant immediately left the hotel whilst the victim was taken to hospital for treatment.

He is described as Mediterranean/Middle Eastern in appearance, aged in his 20s, 165-170cm tall with a slim build.

Police from the City Central Local Area Command attended the scene and commenced an investigation into the incident.

Anyone with information about the incident is urged to contact City Central Police on (02) 9265 6499

Police have charged two men with impersonating police officers in the Sydney CBD.

At 10.10pm yesterday two men have attempted to enter a hotel on George Street, Sydney, but were refused entry due to intoxication.

Police were told the two men then produced a police notebook and claimed to be undercover police officers conducting an operation.

Hotel management contacted police from The Rocks Local Area Command who attended and arrested the two Queensland men, aged 20 and 19. Officers also seized a police notebook.

The men were each charged with impersonating a police officer and granted conditional bail to appear at Downing Centre Local Court on 5 July.

Police have captured an escapee after a foot pursuit through Sydney’s CBD this morning.

About 6.30am police received a report of a stabbing in Glebe. Police attended an address on Glebe Point Road however the injuries were not indicative of a stabbing.

After questioning the injured 26-year-old man, police arrested him in relation to an alleged break and enter that had occurred earlier that night. They took the man to Sydney Hospital for treatment for an injury to his hand

The man was treated and released from hospital.

As the two police officers attempted to assist the man into the police truck, he struggled and broke free from the officers.

The man led the police officers on a foot pursuit between Macquarie Street and Elizabeth Street. The man was sighted entering a building located on Elizabeth Street and was located a short time later.

The man is currently assisting police with enquiries.

The guard was one of a group that was ambushed outside a hotel at the corner of Sussex and Market Streets in central Sydney just before 6:00am (AEST).

It is understood four masked men in dark clothing got out of a silver Audi and demanded access to the armoured van. A fight broke out and the guard was shot in the chest.

The 59-year-old man from the Sutherland Shire in the city’s south was taken to Royal Prince Alfred Hospital at Camperdown in a critical condition, but later died.

The New South Wales police minister Michael Daley has condemned the attack.

“It’s all about cowardice if you are hiding behind an object and then spring out with a gun and surprise some poor fella who’s just doing his work,” he said.

“It was a cowardly attack on a bloke who was simply going about his daily business.”

Police said the guards were delivering cash to a motel complex. It is not known if any money was stolen but a guard’s handgun was taken.

Detective Acting Superintendent Greg Antonjuk says police are interviewing the other guards and examining security camera footage as part of the investigation.

“We have yet to review all of the CCTV and one can understand that security officers that were involved are very distressed about the circumstances,” he said.

“We are being very careful and sympathetic to their needs while still extracting information from them.”

Detectives said the silver Audi was last seen travelling south along Sussex Street.

Anyone who sees the car is urged to call 000 immediately.

A BMW driver had his $100,000 luxury sedan carjacked at gun point last night in Sydney’s CBD.

The 31-year-old man was not injured in the attack, but his 2006-model BMW M5 sedan is still missing.

According to police, the man was getting something out of the boot of his car which was parked was parked on Elizabeth Street, near King Street, when he was approached by two men who got out of a silver BMW wearing balaclavas.

One of the men then produced a handgun and demanded the car’s keys.

The two men were last seen driving off south along Elizabeth Street. The silver-coloured BMW being driven by a third man also fled the scene.

Rocks Police Inspector Paul McDonald said there was no evidence the carjacking was linked to a criminal car rebirthing racket. He also said detectives had not established whether the other BMW used in the attack was stolen.

Inspector McDonald said there had not been any other related carjacking incidents in the command recently and believed if it was a one-off.
