Following Monday’s dreadful attack in Fourth Avenue in which a local man was stabbed, West Midlands Police today announced that they had arrested a 15 year old in connection with it.

Thankfully, as I shared yesterday, the victim seems to be recovering from what are apparently serious injuries.

West Midlands Police said:
