A man has been arrested for a fatal stabbing at a nightclub in Manchester, New Hampshire.
Around 1 a.m. on Saturday, police responded to Club Drynk at 20 Old Granite Street. Twenty-nine-year-old Darrell Robinson of Manchester was stabbed in the torso. He was transported to Elliott Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Twenty-six-year-old Joel Martin is charged with second degree murder. After a warrant was issued, he was arrested in Boston after being released from a hospital.
Witnesses told police Robinson was stabbed by another patron inside the club during an altercation. Investigators are speaking with witnesses and reviewing videos of the incident that were recorded on cell phones.
Martin is expected to be arraigned Monday in Boston as a fugitive from justice.
The investigation continued around the club Saturday, while nearby Southern New Hampshire University graduates were walking across the stage. People attending were shocked by the police tape so close to the Verizon Wireless Arena.
"Kind of a mixed feeling here," said Chuck Colby, who was attending the graduation. "We got something really good going on, and some unfortunate incident that must have taken place."
