THREE men from the Preston and Burnley areas were being quizzed today in connection with a stabbing at a Bolton nightclub.
The 33-year-old security man suffered stab wounds to his arm and legs at the Atlantis nightclub, Waters Meeting Road, Bolton, shortly after midnight.
He was taken to the Royal Bolton Hospital where he was detained overnight. He was described as 'stable' by a police spokesman today and detectives are waiting to interview him.
Police were called to the scene within minutes of receiving a report of a disturbance. They searched the club and discovered several knives inside the premises.
The three men were arrested and were still being questioned today after being detained overnight at Astley Bridge Police Station. A fourth man is still being sought.
Detectives are also studying the nightclub's security cameras.
