The Birmingham shopping area on High Street in Dal End was cordoned off near a McDonald’s restaurant and the Oasis Project on Monday evening. The cordon is likely to remain for some time.
According to witnesses, there were around 100 youths in the area at around 5:45pm where three people suffered stab wounds, one with serious injuries. All were rushed to hospital.
This is despite heightened security presence in the area for the Conservative Party Conference.
