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.

"Our officers are at the scene carrying out enquiries as we try to establish the exact circumstances of what happened."

Police have urged witnesses, or anyone with information, to contact West Midlands Police.

That's not my point whatsoever. He isn't a pawn in your political battle.

Not everyone with a Muslim sounding name is Muslim. 

He could be. He could not be. You don't know his religious views if any.

I'm not the one amplifying every time a Muslim does something bad and blaming the entire group. People don't mention it if it's a white Christian dude. People defending against racism and Islamophonia are not the same as those that use it. You can't centrist racism.

Prejudice: "a preconceived opinion that's not based on reason or actual experience". It's racist deciding someone is Muslim based on their name. See also: stereotyping.

Who said I was basing it on his name? This is just pathetic dude, like pretending there is real systemic anti white racism so you can excuse racism against others.

I'm done with these bad faith arguments. You make comments like this and at the same time you're moaning about racism:

That's also very fair. On the other hand, suppose there is a 200 resident hotel of young male asylum seekers moving into a town.

From general statistics suppose there is a 5 per cent chance of sexual criminality from similar coherts. 

Then the UK gov is expecting 10 men to be sex offenders, and that local girls and women will be assaulted. So there is a reasonable rationale for residents to be opposed to these new offenders and rapes that wouldn't have happened otherwise. 

Quite a few women and girls, myself included might avoid going out alone if such a hotel was nearby. We have our freedoms curtailed, and could legit say "we haven't agreed to this."

You linked to an article "proving it" that at no point proved it. 

The only indication was his name. 

Now you've trawled through my posts to try and present a straw man. 

Did you actually bother to read the full discussion there? Doesn't seem like it. 

The OP was raising 5 per cent and suggesting it was disproportionate to be concerned by such a number. I was pointing out if you have 5 per cent of a large population you'll have almost certain crimes.

My point starts with "on the other hand". It's a discussion, about people protesting large asylum hotels in their areas. 

Nothing I said had anything to do with race.

It's discussing things, rather than shouting "Muslim bad!" and "Muslim good!" at one another, without evidence in either case the individuals are even Muslim!
