The ambulances and three police cars were seen outside the Stafford Gables Hostel.
Later, a police spokeswoman said police arrived at the scene and found a man with injuries.
Although initially reported as an assault, police do not believe that one has occurred, she said.
So we are not seeking anyone in relation to the incident, she said.
