A man's body has been found on a terrace of a CBD high-rise after he tried to flee from police following an early morning disturbance.

Police were called to Eq Tower on A'Beckett Street, between Queen and Elizabeth streets, following a report of suspicious behaviour about 6.25am on Friday.

It is the same complex where teenage girl Laa Chol, 19, was stabbed to death during an out-of-control party in an apartment in July.

When police arrived at the Eq Tower on Friday they found a group of five people and two cars suspected of being stolen parked outside the building.
