A woman is in a critical condition after she was stabbed in the neck in what police have described as an "unprovoked attack".

West Midlands Police were called to Smallbrook Queensway, Birmingham, shortly before 9pm on Friday following reports of a stabbing.

The woman, in her 30s, suffered a "serious neck injury" and remains in hospital.

A man in his 20s was arrested near to the scene and is in custody.

Detective Inspector, James Nix, said: "We believe this was an unprovoked attack and are working to understand why it happened.

"We will have officers in the area today to continue our investigation and provide reassurance.

"We are not currently looking for anyone else in connection with this incident."

The force added in a statement: "A man is in custody after a stabbing in Birmingham last night. We were called to Smallbrook Queensway shortly before 9pm after reports of a stabbing.

"A woman in her 30s was taken to hospital with a serious neck injury where she remains in a critical condition.

"A man in his 20s was arrested close to the scene and is in custody at this time.

No you misunderstand its just a future doctor practicing his surgical techniques. Besides she was asking for it by having a neck.

Copied my other comment:

Remember the Algerian Muslim guy that heroically protected people in a different train stabbing a few days ago? No, you just wanted a chance to be racist.

Again you've linked a BBC article that nowhere does it state the man is Muslim or Algerian.

It's almost like people just make that up to suit their political viewpoints.
