MANHATTAN — Police released photographs Thursday of eight men wanted in connection with a fatal brawl outside the China Club in Times Square in January.

Kenyatta Cotterell, 22, of Harlem was stabbed to death, and two other men were hurt when the fight erupted at 4 a.m. outside the club on West 46th Street near Eighth Avenue on Jan. 23.

All three had been partying at the club, and police believed the fight started after the crowd spilled out at closing time, the New York Post reported.

Cotterell was pronounced DOA at St. Vincent's Hospital, and the second victim, 28, was listed as stable, according to NYPD.

The third victim, 33, was found with a stab wound to the chest at West 45th Street and Seventh Avenue several minutes later, police said.
