Three men were stabbed in a gang fight outside a Southend nightclub before having their car set alight at Basildon Hospital in a late night orgy of gang violence.
The men from Grays suffered serious knife-wounds outside Zinc nightclub and were rushed to the hospital by their friends in the early hour of Saturday morning.
But gang members who had followed the victim's people carrier to the hospital rushed over and smashing up the vehicle before setting it on fire.
One stab victim needed a life-saving operation for a wound to his lung.
