Police have charged a man with two attempted murders following a double stabbing in Birmingham earlier this month.

The pair - both aged in their 20s - were confronted by a group in Inland Road, Erdington, during the early hours of 8 October.

The men sustained stab wounds, which were not life-threatening.

Christopher O'Brien was arrested at the weekend and has now been charged with two attempted murders, possession of an offensive weapon and separate driving offences.

The 39-year-old, of no fixed address, has been remanded to appear Birmingham Crown Court on next month.
