A man in his 20s spent Saturday night in hospital after reportedly falling from a building in Hunter Street, Newcastle.

There was a significant presence of emergency services at the east end of Hunter Street at about 10pm, as three paramedic units responded to reports of a man who had fallen near Brown Street.

Newcastle police said on Sunday morning that it appeared a man had fallen from the second level of a building in the area, and a spokesperson for NSW Ambulance confirmed later that paramedics had treated a man at the scene.

He was found conscious, the NSW Ambulance spokesperson said, and was taken to John Hunter Hospital for assessment.

The hospital confirmed on Sunday morning that doctors had assessed a man the previous night and reported that his condition was stable.

In a separate incident, police said officers responded to a brawl in Newcastle West on Saturday night, but the matter was quickly resolved.
