An Indonesian man has been arrested for allegedly stabbing one of his fellow countrymen to death in Daegu on April 28.

According to Seongseo Police Station on Thursday, an arrest warrant was issued by the court for the man in his 40s, who is suspected of inflicting fatal injuries on another Indonesian man with a weapon near a nightclub in the city's Dalseo District.

The victim, who was in his 30s, was immediately taken to a nearby hospital, where he died while being treated.

The suspect fled the scene, only to be apprehended by police eight hours later at a house in Goryeong-gun, North Gyeongsang Province.

Police said the two men, who did not know each other before that day, had a quarrel inside the club which eventually escalated into a physical fight. The cause of the altercation is still under investigation.

According to Indonesia's media outlets, "groups of Indonesians" were involved in a fight, which they reported left one man dead and four others injured.
