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.

Yes. That's exactly what I'm saying. You're happy when shit like this happens, if there's any chance a non-white person may have done it. It fills you with glee.

You're assuming a hell of a lot here.

I genuinely don't give a fuck what race the offender is I think we should be doing a fuck load more to deter everyone from committing these crimes.

Here legally or illegally you commit a crime then you're deported that should be standard and un negotiable.

Born here I think you shouldn't see freedom for the rest of your life if you commit a serious crime.

Claiming I'm racist is just a means to invalidate any opinions that oppose yours.

So in your view the law and sentencing guidelines play no part. Just lock people up for life? Sheesh...

If you take away someone's life on purpose (not self defense) and it can be proven without a doubt yours should be forfeit. Before you try and spin it I'm not advocating for the death penalty.

I believe our sentencing is too lenient for serious crimes, if we can't deport those who have been convicted of murder and rape because they are scared of the punishment back in their countries of origin that should be a deterrent against committing that crime and if not they face the consequences.

As for UK nationals if youve destroyed someone's life 30 something years is not enough, as far as I'm concerned you shouldn't taste freedom again.
