Police are investigating a one-punch attack on the Gold Coast on Saturday afternoon, in which a man was knocked out.
Emergency services were called to an assault on a Trickett Street intersection in Surfers Paradise about 1.20pm where they found a man in his 40s unconscious.
Paramedics treated the victim, who regained consciousness before being taken to Gold Coast University Hospital in a stable condition.
Police investigating the incident said two vehicles had stopped at the intersection, before a confrontation between a man from one of the vehicles and a man and woman from the other.
"The two men then became involved in a physical altercation before the man from the first vehicle assaulted the woman. He then assaulted the man again, resulting in him being knocked unconscious," police media said in a statement.
Police said the male attacker remained on the run.
