A teenager was today fighting for his life after suffering severe head injuries in a brawl outside a Black Country nightclub.

Dozens of workers were turned away from an industrial estate which remained sealed off today following the attack in Brierley Hill. The closure of roads near the scene also caused rush-hour chaos.

The 19-year-old victim, who has not been named, remained in a critical condition today after the fight at 2.35am outside Indulgence, in Meeting Lane, yesterday.

A 19-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of assault and remains in custody helping police with their enquiries.

Police said a number of people had been involved in an incident outside the club.

Meeting Lane, Station Drive and Wedgebury Road, remained cordoned off this morning as investigations continued.

Police have launched an appeal asking for witnesses to call 0845 113 5000.
