A Jessie J concert in London ended in chaos and panic last night after a man was stabbed in the neck with a broken bottle.
The R&B and pop singer was performing at London’s Bankside Vaults for a BlackBerry BBM party, when a dispute broke out between two members of the crowd. The pair continued to fight and argue until they left the venue, when one man turned on the other and sliced his neck with a broken beer bottle.
The unidentified man, believed to be in his 30s, is reportedly in hospital in a ‘serious condition’ whilst the offender is said to have been arrested and is currently being held in custody.
A statement from the Scotland Yard Police Service said: “At around 12.07am the ambulance service called police regarding a man injured in a club off Southwark Street. He is thought to be in his 30s and has been taken to hospital in a serious condition. The victim is thought to have been injured with a bottle.”
BlackBerry UK have also made comments on the incident, saying that their ‘first concern is the wellbeing of the injured guest’, whilst Jessie J herself left a message on her Twitter page that read: “My thoughts are with the person who was seriously injured last night at the blackberry bbm party. So sad. I really hope they are ok.”
We at Stereoboard wish the victim a quick and speedy recovery.
