A murder investigation has been launched after a man was found stabbed at the side of a busy road.
The man was found with a stab wound to his chest near the junction of Bristol Road and Mill Pool Way, Bournbrook, Birmingham, on Saturday.
He was transferred to hospital, but was pronounced dead at around 6.15pm.
A 28-year-old woman and a 15-year-old girl were arrested at the scene and remain in police custody.
