Philadelphia police are investigating the serious stabbing of a man outside an Old City nightclub early Saturday.

A 34-year-old man was stabbed once in the left leg about 3 a.m. outside the Recess Lounge, an after-hours dance club on the 100 block of South Second Street, police said.

The stabbing developed after another man, whose identity police withheld, started a fight while leaving the club, police said.

The victim was in critical condition at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, police said.

No arrests have been made.
