A 23-year-old man was also taken to hospital after being stabbed in the hand, but he was not seriously injured and was discharged that morning.

Police today said no one had yet been arrested but the investigation was continuing and detectives remained keen to speak to any witnesses.

A spokeswoman for South Yorkshire Police added: “In terms of licensing, we understand a review of the premises is now underway.”

The Star has contacted Sheffield Council and Cocoon, neither of which has yet responded.
