No arrests as Tipton car key stabbing victim released from hospital
A woman who was stabbed three times after refusing to hand over her car keys in Tipton has been discharged from hospital, police have confirmed.
The woman had reportedly just dropped her child off at a nursery in High Street, Princes End, at around 7.20am on Thursday, when she refused to hand over her keys and was attacked in a nearby car park.
She was taken to hospital with stab wounds to her breast, abdomen and arm, but is now recovering at home.
Officers confirmed the attacker was not known to the woman and no arrests have been made at this stage.
A spokesman from West Midlands Police said: "The victim has been discharged from hospital to recover at home.
"No arrests have been made at this stage. Enquiries are still on-going."
Residents and shop workers in the area believed the woman had been taking her child to the nearby Unicorn Day Nursery and the incident had left them 'scared'.
Beth Scarrett, who works at Frydays on High Street, said: "My mom heard all the sirens earlier this morning.
"It doesn't feel safe in this area anymore. I won't walk home by myself now and I only live down the road."
Anyone with information that could help West Midlands Police with their investigation, is asked to call officers on 101, quoting incident number 20SW/69879U/18.
