A person has come forward following a CCTV appeal to identify a potential witness officers were looking to speak to in relation to an investigation into the death of a man in Bournemouth town centre.
At 4.44am on Saturday 12 March 2022 Dorset Police was called to reports that a 21-year-old man had been stabbed outside Subway on Old Christchurch Road.
He was taken to hospital in a life-threatening condition, but very sadly he died a short time later. His family are being supported by specially trained officers. HM Coroner has been notified.
A suspect has been arrested on suspicion of murder and remains in police custody at this time.
As part of their ongoing enquiries, detectives from the Major Crime Investigation Team (MCIT) issued a CCTV image of a person they were looking to identify as they believed him to be a potential witness who could assist with information.
Following the appeal, a male has now come forward and is assisting with the investigation.
Detective Inspector Simon Huxter, of MCIT, said: “We would like to thank the individual who came forward and everyone who shared our appeal.
“This remains an ongoing investigation and I would continue to urge anyone who has information that might assist out enquiries to please get in touch.”
Cordons remain in place in the area of Horseshoe Common as the investigation continues. Local officers can be approached by members of the community with any information or concerns.
