A 15-year-old boy was knifed in Sparkbrook just before 3pm on Monday, January 20.
The teenager was found slumped in Grantham Road and near the junction with Webster Close where passers-by rushed to his aid and tended to his wounds.
The boy was rushed to hospital after he was believed to have suffered four stab wounds.

One resident said: “I came out when I heard all the commotion outside, two passers-by helped him, they tended to his wounds and called the police.
“He had got stabbed four times near the Aldi on Stratford Road, he just collapsed here.”
The air ambulance attended the scene and its doctors cared for the victim, but he was taken to hospital by land ambulance.
