A spokeswoman for the Victoria ambulance said the paramedics were called to an incident at 15:57.
She said that a man in his forties had been rushed by ambulance to Epworth Hospital with injuries to his wrist and knee.
Lilies Suryani, a waitress at the Royal Oak Hotel, said there were two police cars and an ambulance at the intersection of Burnley and Palmer streets.
She said she looked but did not go further.
"There are always bad things here, so I just left and pick up my kids at school," she said.
"Things like that happen all the time here."
She did not see Hird get treatment, but she checked the news later and found out it was him.
"It's horrible, I could not believe it."
Workers nearby said they saw a man sitting on a grbad track helped by paramedics.
There are marked bike lanes on Burnley and Palmer streets.
