Calgary police have charged a 26-year-old man with second-degree murder after a deadly brawl outside a northeast bar last Thursday.

A 20-year-old man was stabbed and beaten with a baseball bat after getting into an argument with a group of people. It happened in a parking lot near Mezzaluna Restaurant in Marlborough.

Bak Joseph Malok was rushed to hospital but succumbed to his injuries.

Police originally took three men in for questioning but they were cleared of having any involvement in the case.

On Saturday, police arrested Johar Sirage Hussein without incident.

The 26-year-old has been charged with second-degree murder.

This is Calgary’s ninth homicide of 2010.
