Three men were taken to the Schneider Regional Medicval Center early Sunday after being stabbed during a fight on the dance floor of a St. Thomas club.
According to the V.I. Police Department, officers responded at 2:15 a.m. Sunday to reports that several men had been stabbed while inside Metropolis Night Club in Subase. Preliminary information from at least one victim indicates the stabbing took place on the dance floor.
Police encountered two stabbing victims on the stairwell of the business. Those victims were taken by ambulance to the hospital for treatment. A third victim was taken to the hospital by private vehicle. All three were treated for various cuts on their bodies.
