A man was treated for minor stab wounds to his neck and leg and cuts to his face and chest at the scene, before being taken to hospital. He was later arrested on suspicion of affray and remains in police custody.

West Midlands Police officers have launched an investigation and are calling for witnesses to come forward.

A spokesman for West Midlands Ambulance Service said: "We were called by police at 3:42pm on Tuesday to a stabbing in Lime Street, Wolverhampton. We sent one ambulance and a paramedic officer to the scene.
