Police have confirmed a man who was behaving erratically in Melbourne's CBD, causing a partial lockdown, was carrying petrol cans and bottles full of water.
Authorities closed off parts of William Street near Little Bourke Street just before 8:00am on Tuesday after the man was spotted pushing a trolley containing bottles of liquid with rags stuffed in them.
Police arrested a 52-year-old man from Kurunjang, in the city's north-west, following negotiations, and he was taken to hospital under police guard.
