An 87-year-old Noosa man on a Sunday walk has died after what was believed to have been a random attack on a beachside boardwalk about 6am.
Bystanders were said to have helped the man, who was left face-down with head injuries, before authorities arrived at the scene just inside Noosa Woods, north of the popular Hastings Street tourist strip.Attila Csaszar
A 27-year-old man found on the beach about 100 metres away was in custody and assisting police with their inquiries, but no charges had been laid.“We believe he was out this morning having a walk when the tragic circumstances occurred,” Sunshine Coast Detective Inspector Chris Toohey told reporters near the scene on Sunday afternoon.
Police have asked for witnesses or any businesses or homeowners with CCTV footage captured between midnight and 6am to come forward.
