He was taken to hospital for treatment while a second teenager was arrested and questioned by police.

A 15-year-old boy from Sandwell has now been charged with attempted murder as well as possessing a knife in a public place.

The boy, who cannot be identified because of his age, has been remanded in custody to appear at Walsall Magistrates Court on Monday morning (January 6).
