Arrest as two injured in Wolverhampton pub stabbing
[gallery] Two men were stabbed as violence erupted at a Wolverhampton pub. Police were called to the Otter & Vixen in Bushbury last night.
The two victims, aged 33 and 44, had both been stabbed in the back while a 37-year-old who was arrested joined them in hospital with a hand injury.
The violence, which police said described as "large-scale disorder", happened late on Friday night and police were called at 11.45pm.
The pub is off Old Fallings Lane and part of the street and nearby Croft Lane was still cordoned off by officers this morning as forensic investigators examined the scene.
West Midlands Police spokesman Lee Page said: "Police were called to a large scale-disorder outside the Otter & Vixen Pub on Old Fallings Lane in Low Hill, Wolverhampton, at around 11.45pm on April 6.
"On arrival, emergency services found several people who had suffered injuries.
"Two men had been stabbed in the back – a 44-year-old who had one minor wound and a 33-year-old who had two.
"Both were taken to hospital, along with a 37-year-old man with a hand injury, who was arrested on suspicion of assault."
