A major operation is underway in Sydney’s CBD which involved the mass evacuation of office workers and police.
Police swarmed a busy office tower on Elizabeth Street shortly after 1pm on Wednesday.
The building is understood to house the offices of NSW Police Commissioner Karen Webb and other police services.
Photos from the scene show several police vehicles parked on the busy street as officers guarded the entrances and exits of the building.
The federal police and the riot squad are also present.
A paramedic was seen entering the building with a stretcher.
