Two other people were treated for breathing difficulties after a suspected gas attack at Bar Qbano, Ebenezer Place.

More than 100 people were inside the the club at the time, but all were evacuated safely at around 2:30AM.

Police believed the attack was down to a "CS-type gas" that was released inside the club.
