A 23-year-old man has died following a tragic stabbing at a nightclub in Birmingham, England.
As reported by the Daily Mail, the devastating incident occurred on the dancefloor of The Crane nightclub on Boxing Day (Monday, December 26).
The venue is located on Adderley Street in Digbeth, with police being alerted just before 11:45PM.
West Midlands Police say the 23-year-old victim died 30 minutes later.
No arrests have been made as of this writing and the scene is currently closed off while investigators continue to gather evidence.
Speaking out about the tragic incident, Detective Inspector Michelle Thurgood - who is leading the investigation - has said in a press release: "This was a young man enjoying himself with friends on a Boxing Day night out and our thoughts are with his friends and family today."
Det Insp Thurgood continued: "We know there were hundreds of people in the nightclub at the time. While we've spoken to a number of them already, we still need to hear from anyone who was there and who witnessed or even filmed what happened.
"We believe that the victim was approached by a group of people, and was then stabbed, so we're working hard to identify all of those involved."
The Mail reports that detectives are currently reviewing surveillance footage from the nightclub and are urging anybody with any information to contact West Midlands Police via Live Chat, quoting log 3792 of 26 December.
