Boy, 14, arrested as double stabbing leaves 16-year-old critical
A 16-year-old boy is fighting for his life after being stabbed in one of two serious knife attacks in the West Midlands on Sunday.
The boy is one of two teenagers who were stabbed in Solihull at around 2.40pm, around two hours before a 20-year-old man was murdered in Smethwick.
A 14-year-old boy has been arrested over the Solihull incident which happened in Chapelhouse Road and ended with the two teenagers being taken to hospital.
The 16-year-old remained in a critical condition on Monday morning while the second victim, 19, was described as stable.
So far no arrests have been made over the Smethwick stabbing, which appears to have been caught on camera in a shocking video widely shared on social media.
The two stabbings are not believed to be related.
