A 20-year-old Queensland man has been charged with murder after slicing the jugular vein of another man during a fight that broke out between two groups of men at the Fortitude Valley Train Station around 4am. 24-year-old Lauie Tagaloa was fatally stabbed.
Witnesses and police attempted to provide CPR and first aid to Tagaloa until paramedics arrived but he could not be saved.
The incident was also caught on the network of CCTV video in the rail station which was integral to capturing the attackers.
“Police were watching the Brisbane City Council CCTV when they observed a disturbance taking place in the public thoroughfare of the Fortitude Valley Railway Station,” regional duty officer Sean Cryer from Queensland Police said.
“On closer examination, they saw a male person lying on the ground, the persons nearby had blood on them.”
We immediately dispatched the QAS and uniform crews to the railway station.
“Unfortunately, he could not be saved and was declared life extinct at the scene.”
Three men were arrested at the train station shortly after.
