We propose that the observed excess of cosmic rays at ˜ 1018 eV, reported by the AGASA and SUGAR groups from the direction of the Galactic Centre, can be due to the neutrons produced by heavy nuclei injected from a very young pulsar. By normalization of the calculated neutron flux to the flux observed in the cosmic ray excess, the neutrino and gamma-ray fluxes at the Earth are predicted. We discuss their observability by a 1 km2 neutrino detector of the IceCub e type and future γ -ray Cherenkov telescopes.
