PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) - Police in Providence continue to investigate a stabbing at a dance club early Sunday morning.

It happened at Level 2 on Richmond Street.

Terrence McNamara, a bouncer at the club was stabbed in the back and taken to Rhode Island Hospital.

The victim says a bar-goer got out of control and threw a drink on another customer.

When McNamara approached the man to remove him from the club, that's when McNamara says the unruly customer stabbed him and then ran out of the club.

The knife was found in the parking lot and police continue to look for the suspect.

The club has videotape from inside but was unable to provide the police with footage right away.

The police, who have had issues with the club in the past, will discuss what actions they may seek before the city Board of Licenses.

In December, the board ordered a 30-day suspension of the club's liquor license after earlier violence at the club.

Level Two Nightclub

Providence police said they have responded to more than 22 incidents at Level II nightclub in the last year and a half.
