Brit tourist, 31, is stabbed to death outside Spanish nightclub 'in row with foreigners' - as cops make arrest following manhunt for killer
British tourist has been stabbed to death outside a nightclub in Spain, with police hunting for the killer saying they have made an arrest.
The victim, 31, was killed outside the Oxygen nightclub in the holiday resort town of Calella, around 30 miles from Barcelona.
It is believed that he was stabbed during a row with another group of foreigners at around 4am this morning.
Spanish news website El Caso had earlier said police were hunting a group of locally-based men it said came from North Africa and the Dominican Republic.
Another person was reportedly injured in the brawl and rushed to hospital. Their condition is not known.

Gang made millions selling fake Xanax pills on dark web
A drugs gang produced millions of counterfeit Xanax pills in garden sheds and garages, selling them to customers across the UK and US.
The group, from across the West Midlands region of England, included extended family members and friends who sold more than £4m of fake pills on the so-called dark web.
They were brought to justice after a five-year international investigation, with two members being convicted earlier on Wednesday.
Eight members of the group, including suspected ringleaders Brian Pitts, 29, and Katie Harlow, 26, had previously admitted a range of charges.
operationBrian Pitts, of Lane Street, Bilston, organised the marketing and online sales from a luxury villa in Thailand, supported by his partner Harlow, the West Midlands Regional Organised Crime Unit (ROCU) believes.
At Wolverhampton Crown Court earlier, 25-year-old Jordan Pitts was convicted of all charges he faced. Tenth gang member Bladen Roper, 24, was found guilty of one and cleared of another.
ROCU said the group had made an "eye-watering" sum of money through online sales in 2018 and 2019.
Proceeds were laundered through cryptocurrency, mainly Bitcoin, the court was told.
In 2019, a fake Xanax factory was discovered in Windsor Road in Tipton and a second manufacturing facility in a garage in Jeremy Road, Wolverhampton.
Forensic evidence found at the scenes suggested a major production of Alprazolam, a medicine within Xanax, possibly at a rate of 10,000 pills an hour.
Months earlier, Xanax manufacturer Pfizer had begun its own investigation into counterfeit sales by carrying out test purchases.
It was able to show parcels had been distributed via post offices across the Black Country.
ROCU carried out co-ordinated raids and made multiple arrests.
"This was all simply done for profit," said Det Insp Dave Hollies, of ROCU.
"They thought, 'how can we tangibly turn the amount of money we are spending in terms of acquiring Alprazolam, bulking agent and presses into the greatest amount of money?'
"And that sum was eye-watering."
Police say Brian Pitts had grown the illicit business quickly and may have been in contact with other international drug supply chains.
Roper, of Powis Avenue, and Jordan Pitts, of Hickman Avenue, had faced a three-week trial.
Prosecutors said they had packed up and sent parcels abroad, with Roper acting as a courier.
Roper told the court he had weighed and sifted "raw" Alprazolam but thought it was a protein powder at the time.
The others who admitted charges centred around the supply of class C drugs, money laundering and infringement of Pfizer's trademark Xanax and Greenstone brands are:
- Lee Lloyd, of Shakespeare Road, Tipton
- Mark Bayley of Jeremy Road, Wolverhampton
- Deborah Bellingham of Windsor Road, Tipton
- Kyle Smith, of Beech Road, Wednesbury
- Anthony Pitts of Belmont Close, Tipton
- Scott Tonkinson of Arundel Road, Willenhall
No date for sentencing has yet been set.

Now you're reduced to Brits committing crimes in Britain?
How utterly pathetic.
Keep up the good work, mods.![]()
Talk about tenuous.
And also somewhat ironic, coming from someone whose entire culture is built upon criminality.
