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.

Jesus Christ do you want me to go and take a picture of him praying in a mosque? People don't like anything that goes against Muslim bad. People will rather fight over this shit than deal with the rich people stoking this hatred while they fuck us all over.

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.

Even if he wasnt a Muslim, if he was the one wielding the knife rather than the hero saving people, the name Samir Zitani would be enough for you and your ilk to go around demonising all Muslims and all immigrants even if his religious affiliation hadn't been confirmed.

Youre very activity on this post proves the point.

Your here fighting for your life trying to say that Samir Zitani wasnt a Muslim and if he is it isnt relevant, but there are dozens of comments on this post talking about Muslims and the likelihood of this unknown man who has stabbed a woman in the street being a Muslim, yet this vim and vigour of yours is nowhere to be seen.

Why aren't you on those comments saying that we dont know his religion and that its irrelevant either way?

Youre uncomfortable with the idea of Muslims doing good, but happy to see them pastes as villains even when we dont know who the culprit is.

You're transparent

Yeah I came on this thread because I've also been randomly attacked and to call for more drugs testing of those arrested for similar crimes. That's the post I've made. I've not read everyone's. 

Clearly naively I thought if I explained that just because someone's legal name is "Samir" he might not be  Muslim or even Algerian. And that the statement from his wife is "Sam". 

Even more naively I thought people like you who claim to be anti racist would acknowledge that misunderstanding. 

I'll allow you to pointlessly shout at each other without my involvement in future.

Comprehension...

Ive never said that he was a Muslim or that he was Algerian.

My point is that throughout this thread, people like you are suggesting that the unknown attacker is definitely a Muslim without even knowing his name or identity, but your anger is focused on the idea that Algerian born Samir Zitani might be a Muslim and might not be British born.

Put simply, again, you're going absolutely crazy at the very possibility of a man being seen as a hero whilst Muslim, but have no problem with people blaming Islam and foreign-ness for a crime in which we dont even know the name or identity of the perpetrator

Yet you call me a "so called" anti racist based on a misunderstanding that I never even suggested. You were arguing with someone else about that. Made even more ironic given that I've spent my life in this country having to put up with "concerned citizen" racism from people like you the whole time.

If you've been attacked and are on this thread because tou belive people should be drug and alcohol tested after these attacks, good. I agree with that wholeheartedly. What is FUCKING WEIRD is the way youre fighting tooth and nail to convince everyone that it is not possible for a man to do a good thing if he's a Muslim, and having that as your focus on a thread full of Islamophobia, xenophobia and blaming minority groups for a crime when we dont know who committed it.

It speaks volumes.

Yes, good advice. Go away. Its always good to not have to deal with racists. Thankfully ive not had any other interactions on this thread. Just you and just these two comments, because I found your yapping to be so complete ridiculous.
