Guests at an upmarket Adelaide hotel have recalled hearing ‘screeching’ moments before a woman and baby were rushed to hospital.
Police and paramedics arrived at the Avani Adelaide Residences on Franklin Street in Adelaide’s CBD at about 6:30am on Sunday morning.
Akeim Takamura, 23, was staying on the 12th floor of the apartment complex when he heard ‘screeching’ coming from the room opposite him.
‘There were no words, there were no cries for help, it was just a screeching sound and it lasted for about five minutes,’ he told The Advertiser.
‘A few moments after that we heard a baby crying right in front of our room.’
Mr Takamura waited in his room before going downstairs where he saw police attending to a woman ‘with glass around her’ in a courtyard area.

The woman was rushed to hospital in a critical condition. The baby was also taken to hospital but did not appear to have any injuries.
A man, believed to be the infant’s father, appeared agitated at the scene and accompanied the baby to hospital.
It’s believed the woman had been staying at the complex for about six months.
SA Police declined to provide an update on the condition of the woman or baby, citing privacy principles.
Police remained at the apartment complex for several hours before detectives arrived to analyse the scene.
