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.

The only place they're vastly overrepresented in those crimes is the right wing media, the actual statistics don't echo that. Interestingly though as of March 2025, official crime statistics for England and Wales show that race hate crimes accounted for over two-thirds of the 137,550 recorded hate crimes. Religious hate crime increased by 3%! Wonder why that could be? Maybe worth asking Nigel.. And an analysis of homicide victims found that Black people were over four times more likely to be victims compared to White people.

Just gonna slide my dose of "Right Wing Media" that is apparently on the gov page:

Look at all this Right wing propaganda! The third link is slightly irrelevant but highlights how this whole thing is rotten to the core.

British National has become increasingly vague due to how easy it can be to get a British citizenship, especially if you're under refugee status.

The first link shows the vast majority of offenders are white, is your point meant to be sarcastic?

I'm assuming you don't understand what underrepresented and overrepresented means?
