Police have launched a murder investigation after a man in his 20s died following a stabbing attack in Birmingham.

Armed police were called to the scene in Bridge Road, Alum Rock, shortly after midday on Tuesday. A nearby nursery was also locked down.

West Midlands Police confirmed on Tuesday evening that it had launched a murder investigation as the man had died.

A woman also suffered injuries that were not life-threatening or changing, the force said.

A 32-year-old man has been arrested over the attack and remains in custody.

Detective Superintendent James Munro said: "Our thoughts remain with the man's family at this time.

"We believe this to be a contained incident with a man in custody.

"We are reviewing CCTV footage and speaking to a number of people in the area, but would appeal to anyone who has any information to get in touch.
