The East of England Ambulance Service (EEAST) confirmed it sent an ambulance and a rapid response to the vehicle.
"One patient was transported to Norfolk & Norwich University Hospital for further care," an EEAST spokesperson added.
It is understood the man arrested threw jars of sauce at the victim, which hit a Perspex screen and caused a loud noise.
The noise and the sauce spillage caused concern among witnesses and led to some on social media wondering if a gun had been fired, but no firearm was involved.
