Detectives investigating a reported assault inside a Bournemouth nightclub are renewing their appeal for information.

At 1.32am on Sunday 27 February 2022 an altercation occurred between two men in Vinyl club on Fir Vale Road.

It is alleged a 20-year-old man from Sunbury-on-Thames was assaulted and fell to the floor. He sustained a serious head injury and was taken to hospital for treatment, where he remains in a life-threatening condition.

A 23-year-old man from Bournemouth who was arrested on suspicion of grievous bodily harm with intent has been released on police bail while enquiries continue.

Detective Inspector Mark Jenkins, of Bournemouth CID, said: “Following our earlier appeal a number of people who witnessed this incident have contacted Dorset Police with information and I would like to thank them.

“We know the nightclub was busy at the time of the incident and I would ask anyone who saw what happened and has not yet contacted Dorset Police to please come forward.

“I am also keen to hear from anyone who may have captured all or part of the incident on a mobile phone.”
