Three men were arrested following a violent stabbing brawl close to Mojo nightclub on Thurland Street, Nottingham, at 4.16am on New Year’s Day.
A 24-year-old man suffered chest and back injuries but is not in a life-threatening condition and remains in hospital. Two 18-year-olds were also injured—one treated for a leg wound, and the other hospitalised with chest injuries, both injuries are not life-threatening.
Detectives are reviewing CCTV footage and have appealed to taxi drivers who worked in the area around the time of the incident to come forward. Authorities are particularly interested in anyone with dash-cam footage or who may have noticed injured passengers or people with bloodstains.
Detective Inspector Kayne Rukas said: “This was an extremely serious incident and we have been working hard to establish what happened. We know there were a number of taxis in the area at the time and I would like to directly ask any drivers who may have seen anything or may have dash-cam footage of the incident to come forward.”
“Taxi or bus drivers working in the early hours of New Year’s Day elsewhere in the city may also have noticed an injured passenger or one with bloodstains on their clothing. They could hold important information which will help officers understand what happened in the moments before, during and after this incident.”
Police have arrested two 18-year-olds and one 24-year-old on suspicion of affray in connection with the incident.
