He was rushed to the Gold Coast University Hospital and police say he’s now in a stable condition.

The centre was packed with shoppers at the time, as well as visitors attending the Gold Coast show across the road at the Broadwater Parklands.

A Queensland Police Service spokesperson says there is no threat to the public.

A spokeswoman for Australia Fair told the ABC the man had not been stabbed at the centre.
