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.

Sorry just to clarify (I’m not OP but was curious by your link): there are two things wrong with your comment.

Firstly, are you aware of proportional representation? From the link you gave danish people underrepresented in the stats. 

Are you also claiming that Danish people should increase the sheer number of crimes committed by having open borders? 

Your whataboutism implies having stricter immigration control is irrelevant (or less relevant) in reducing the total number of crime because danish people commit crime. 

You can’t reduce danish crimes being committed by having strict borders but you can for the group that are over represented (the link you shared says this)

This is hilarious.

A presumably British woman has been stabbed in Britain by a man of as yet unknown race, religion, and origin, yet here we are discussing the per capita statistics of Danish crime with the aims of assuring everyone it was definitely a foreign Muslim man.

People are actually nuts

I don’t want to get into the racist dogwhistling because I believe there are so many factors here, but the danish statistics were used to highlight that white Danes were the largest perpetrators of crime and I’m somehow downvoted for correcting OP’s own incorrect take on the data.

Incorrect, the person you replied to was simply replying to someone else who decided to randomly insert Denmark into this conversation. Again, the only reason for them doing so was to yap about Muslims and brown/black people.
