The victim, a man in his 40s, was helping a friend to load a van parked in the car park outside licensed premises.
It has been reported that three men approached the victim and his friend before an altercation occurred, which spilled out onto the Malone Road, at the junction of Eglantine Avenue.
The man remains in a critical condition in hospital at this time.
A police spokesperson said: “We know that this area would have been relatively busy with vehicles at the time, particularly taxi drivers, and would appeal to anyone who may have been in the vicinity to check their dashcam for relevant footage.
