A 25-year-old suspect was being questioned by police on suspicion of slashing the victim’s neck at the event thrown by smartphone company BlackBerry.

Brit-award winning singer Jessie J had been performing at the party before the bloody brawl.

She tweeted of her concern for the 37-year-old victim, described as being in a critical condition.

The singer said: “My thoughts are with the person who was seriously injured last night at the BlackBerry BBM party. So sad. I really hope they are OK.”

The victim is believed to have been attacked inside Pulse underground nightclub in Southwark, central London, just after midnight. A Scotland Yard spokesman said: “It appears he was injured with a bottle.”
