Police were called to the Meche nightclub in the Sydney building on Northbourne Avenue about 3.40am, following reports of an unconscious man within the venue.
Ambulance officers later transported the 27-year-old to the Canberra Hospital for medical treatment, where he remains in a critical condition. An ACT Health spokesman could not confirm whether the man had regained consciousness.
Meche was reportedly busy when the man was discovered on the dance floor. The club, whose owners describe it as being at the “forefront of the urban clubbing scene”, had opened its doors at 10pm.
ACT Policing Criminal Investigations’ Acting Sergeant Adam Rhynehart said police were investigating the incident, but could not comment on the cause of the man’s unconsciousness.
“Obviously, we’ll investigate all avenues,” he said.
Detective Acting Sergeant Rhynehart said witnesses were urged to come forward to help with the investigation.
“An unconscious male inside a night club with 150 on board - someone had to have seen something for a male to fall down on the dance floor inside the night club,” he said.
Anyone who witnessed the incident or has information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or via www.act.crimestoppers.com.au.
