The man, aged 31 years old, was killed in a knife fight at a club
A British tourist in Barcelona, Spain has died after becoming embroiled in a fight that left him with fatal stab wounds, according to police sources.
The Mossos d'Esquadra police in Barcelona are investigating the death of the man, aged 31, who was stabbed to death early on Friday morning, June 21, in a “serious fight” at the Oxygen nightclub in the coastal resort of Calella.
The incident happened at around 5am, and another person was injured and taken to hospital.
The Criminal Investigation Division (DIC) of the Mossos has begun the search for all those involved and security cameras of the premises are being reviewed.
The assailants are believed to be young foreigners from the Dominican Republic living in the town of Calella, one of whom has been arrested.
Arrangements are being made to report the death to the British consulate and to proceed with the repatriation of the body.
Investigators are taking statements from witnesses to clarify the motives and details of the fight.
On Sunday June 23, in nearby Girona, another mass fight broke out after two people were run over and killed.
