A 34-year-old man has been arrested in connection with a serious attack on a 20-year-old man in Greater Manchester.
Officers were called to Palatine Road, near to Friday's nightclub in Didsbury, at about 0230 BST following reports of a disturbance.
The victim was taken to hospital with serious head injuries and remains in a critical condition.
A police spokesman said a large number of people had been outside the club and may have witnessed the attack.
Det Insp Mark Willdigg, of Greater Manchester Police, said: "We are trying to establish exactly what happened and how the man came to suffer his extremely grave injuries.
"We know there were a large number of people outside the bar at the time of the incident and I am appealing for them to come forward to help shed some light on what actually happened.
"I cannot stress enough the severity of his injuries."
