Man stabbed to death outside Birmingham pub
A man in his twenties has been killed in a double stabbing outside a pub in Birmingham.
Two men were attacked in the early hours of this morning outside the Forge Tavern in Digbeth.
The men, both aged in their twenties, were rushed to hospital around 4.30am. One of them died from his injuries a short time later.
The second man remains in hospital.
Defective Inspector Harry Harrison from the force’s homicide team said: “The investigation is in the very early stages. We know the incident started inside the Forge Tavern and the two men were then attacked outside. Both were driven to hospital, where one man unfortunately died from his injuries, despite the best efforts of the emergency services.
“A murder investigation has been launched and I am appealing for anyone who may have been at the Forge Tavern last night or early this morning and who may have seen what happened leading up to the attack to call police on 101 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111."
Officers were today carrying out forensic and other enquiries at the scene and a post mortem will take place in due course.
