On Friday evening (13th April 2018), there was an incident in the Vicarage Road area of Brownhills that generated a large amount of speculation on social media.

I made enquiries with the press Office at West Midlands Police, and this morning they issued the following statement:

A 51-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of assault after police were called to a disorder in Vicarage Road in the Brownhills area of Walsall just before 7pm on Friday 13 April 2018. He remains in police custody this morning (Saturday 14 April 2018).
