When reporters arrived at the scene at about 10am, three police vehicles were parked inside the food street of the industrial-commercial building.
Five people, comprising men and women, spoke with police officers outside the nightclub.
They appeared calm, and no bloodstains were observed at the location.
Police had temporarily cordoned off the street, blocking other vehicles from entering.

30-year-old Mr He Jiaxian (transliterated from Mandarin), founder of a nearby café named Genista Ln, told Zaobao that he did not witness the incident first-hand as he was inside his café.
But two female customers had heard screaming in the vicinity and went to check it out, he said.
They found someone bleeding and called the police and an ambulance, while Mr He alerted the building’s security.
A 19-year-old café employee, who declined to be named, said that a dispute had broken out at the nightclub.
While the incident is still under investigation, preliminary information obtained by the Chinese daily suggested that the man slashed his own neck with a sharp object following a dispute.
Reporters from The Straits Times (ST), who reached CT Hub 2 at 11am, saw a woman apparently receiving medical treatment.
A police officer photographed a man believed to be working at the nightclub. The man had an injury on his right elbow.
Later, at about 12pm, a crime-scene investigator snapped photos of a sharp object that looked like a small saw.
