A man's been arrested on suspicion of murder after a 25 year old man was stabbed in Erdington.

He was found with serious injuries in Chudleigh Road at around 4.15pm yesterday (29th November) before being taken to hospital. He died a short time after his arrival.

An 18 year old man is currently in custody for questioning.

West Midlands Police say a cordon remains in place near the junction of Reservoir Road while investigations take place.

Detective Inspector Wes Martin, from the homicide unit, said: "A young man has tragically lost his life and we're doing all we can to support his family at this awful time.

"We've made some quick progress by arresting a suspect on suspicion of murder. However, we remain keen to hear from anyone who may have information. Anyone who may be able to help us needs to contact us.

"We're reviewing all CCTV possibilities and we're asking people in the area to check any dashcam or doorbell footage which can help us fully establish what has happened during this terrible incident."
