A 23-year-old guy was stabbed to death on the dance floor of a Birmingham nightclub, and a murder inquiry is already underway.
At The Crane in Digbeth, Adderley Street, the guy suffered fatal injuries on December 26 soon about 23:45 GMT.
He was declared dead around 30 minutes later despite efforts to rescue him, according to West Midlands Police.
Det Insp Michelle Thurgood remarked, "This was a young man enjoying himself with pals on a Boxing Day night out.
The incident occurred during a Boxing Day event ...that began at 15:00 GMT and included well-known techno DJ Marco Carola.Police want anyone in the club who saw what happened to get in touch because they think the victim was approached by a gang before being stabbed.
Det Insp Thurgood continued, "We know there were hundreds of individuals at the nightclub at the time.
Although we have already spoken to a number of people, we still need to hear from anyone who was present and saw what happened or possibly recorded it on camera.A clubgoer claimed to have seen "groups of youngsters" who were "trying to cause problems," according to the PA news agency.
Sydnee Power, 23, from Birmingham said, "As soon as myself and my friends stepped in, we got a very odd sensation and the environment wasn't fantastic.
Although no one has been arrested, the location is still cordoned as police gather information and examine security camera footage.
Police noted that neighborhood officers will be patrolling the area over the next few days to provide comfort.
The tragedy, which occurred just before the celebration was scheduled to end at midnight, left the venue's personnel "extremely startled and devastated," according to a statement.It stated that staff members were collaborating closely with authorities and that "our sympathies are with the victim, his family, and friends."
The news was described as "heartbreaking" in a social media post by DJ Steve Lawler, who performed an earlier set and fled before the stabbing.
He remarked, "My thoughts and prayers are with this person's family and loved ones."
The Crane has canceled a New Year's Eve event.
