MURDER detectives hunting the man who stabbed to death a North-East man have today arrested a Dutch national.

Dutch officers are expected to be interviewing the suspect throughout the day.

One man died and the other was seriously injured during the early morning disturbance outside an Amsterdam bar in the early hours of Friday morning.

Neither man has been named by the police.

The attack happened only hours after Middlesbrough FC played in the Uefa Cup in a nearby town.

Two detectives from Cleveland Police's murder investigation team flew out to Amsterdam this morning to assist their Dutch colleagues.
