Bilston McDonald's reopens after stabbing leaves man fighting for his life
The McDonald's branch in Bilston has reopened after a man was stabbed during a fight on Sunday evening.
The victim was left fighting for his life after being knifed in the groin near the fast food restaurant in the High Street at around 7pm.
Police say the fight broke out in the High Street before moving onto a footbridge by Stonefield Walk which runs over the Black Country Route, where the 37-year-old victim was stabbed.
On Monday a blue forensic tent had been erected at the scene while much of the area around the McDonald's restaurant remained cordoned off.
The branch remained closed on Monday morning while investigations continued, but reopened at around 1pm.
The victim was left fighting for his life after the attack.
West Midlands Ambulance Service sent two ambulances, a paramedic officer and the MERIT trauma team to the scene.
A spokesman said: "Crews arrived to find a man in a critical condition with bystander CPR already in progress.
"Staff took over treatment and administered advanced trauma care to the man. He was conveyed to hospital on blue lights and sirens for further treatment.”
Three boys, aged 13, 15 and 16, have been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, while the victim remains in a critical condition in hospital.
