Police have arrested a 16-year-old boy on suspicion of murder after a man died from stab wounds outside a Subway sandwich shop in Bournemouth. Dorset police were called to Bournemouth town centre shortly before 5am on Saturday. A 21-year-old man was found with life-threatening injuries outside Subway on Old Christchurch Road. He was taken to hospital and died a short time later. In the early hours of Sunday, police confirmed that a 16-year-old boy had been taken into custody over the incident. DI Simon Huxter, of the major crime investigation team, said police were still appealing for any witnesses to come forward with information, “no matter how small you think it may be”. He added: “A section of Old Christchurch Road and Horseshoe Common remains closed while our examination of the scene continues and CCTV enquiries are well under way in the area. “I would also ask local residents and motorists who were in the area at the relevant time to please check their home CCTV systems or dashcam footage and come forward if they have captured anything of relevance to our investigation. Huxter said the victim’s family had been updated on the progress of the investigation. “I understand this incident has had an impact on the community, and members of the public will continue to see an increased police presence in the area over the coming days,” he said. “Officers from the local neighbourhood policing team can be approached with any concerns.” Anyone with information is asked to contact Dorset police by calling 101, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
