Murder investigation after clubber, 25, stabbed to death
A murder investigation has been launched after a man was fatally stabbed in Birmingham shortly after leaving a club.
The 25-year-old was in Oxford Street in Digbeth when he got into a fight with another man at around 2.45am on Sunday.
The victim, who has been identified by the force, suffered a knife wound after leaving a club. He collapsed at the scene and was later pronounced dead in hospital.
A forensic search was being carried out of the scene by specialists with a post-mortem examination expected to be carried out on Monday, police said.
Detective Inspector Hannah Whitehouse, from the force's Homicide Unit, said: “We understand the man had left a club shortly before he got involved in a confrontation with another man in the street.
“Our early inquiries show there were lots of people in the area and many were filming what happened on their phones. I need those people to get in touch, as clearly they may have caught the offender on camera.
“Similarly, I would ask taxi drivers or other motorists who were in the location to check dash-cam footage to see if they have recorded the fight or the offender making off.”
Anyone with information is asked to message the force on Live Chat at west-midlands.police.uk or call 101 quoting log 424 from August 22.
