A photo sent in to the
Townsville Bulletin shows what is believed to be Mr Walker sitting by a police van on Flinders St and speaking with officers on the night of the incident. The photo was sent in after doing the rounds on social media. Les Walker sits with police officers at Flinders St on Saturday morning after being knocked out. Mr Walker celebrated his 56th birthday on Friday. Mr Walker was rushed to hospital about 1am, but was released a few hours later. The
Bulletin called Mr Walker on Saturday, but he declined to comment, with his office issuing a statement the next day saying it would be inappropriate to comment on the open investigation.
