Northern Territory Police have arrested a man for an aggravated assault in Darwin City overnight.
At 11pm, police were flagged down by security staff on Mitchell Street to assist in providing first aid to a man with a laceration to his chest.
Police provided first aid before St John Ambulance conveyed the man to Royal Darwin Hospital in a serious condition.
