It was in King's Cross, not King St.

And I believe the number of people who died is two.

That's Kings Cross, and the figures were quick high for assaults. Kings Cross isn't even a gazetted area.

The sheer number of assaults being treated at St Vincent's Hospital caused the head of the emergency department to describe it as a warzone. Someone of that stature doesn't say this sort of thing lightly!

Possibly thinking of King St in Melbourne which has a number of adult theatres
