A murder investigation is under way after a man was stabbed to death in Co Down.
The 47-year-old victim was attacked in the Enterprise Court area of Bangor in the early hours of Thursday.
A 45-year-old man arrested at the scene is being questioned by detectives.
PSNI Chief Inspector Trevor Atkinson appealed for anyone with information to come forward.
He said: "The 47-year-old was attacked outside a property in Enterprise Court shortly after 1am this morning.
"A 45-year-old man was arrested at the scene and remains in custody at present.
Anyone with information that could assist the investigation can call 101, quoting reference 61 31/10/19.'
Leah and Wendy Stenning, who worked with the victim in a coffee shop across the road, described him as a gentle giant.
Leah said the man's family are "kind and caring".
"They loved their son - they are going to be really devastated," she said.
She added that the local community was in shock and fearful.
"They are a bit terrified to be honest," she said. "I don't think anyone would have imagined that to have happened - especially to him."
