Detectives have launched a murder investigation after a man was fatally stabbed in Lozells this afternoon (November 17).
Officers found a man in his 20s with serious injuries in Lozells Street at just before 3.30pm.
Despite the best efforts of paramedics he was sadly confirmed dead before arriving at hospital.
Firearms officers later stopped a car in Alum Rock Road and a 27-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of murder.
The man – who is understood to be known to the victim – has been taken into police custody for questioning.
A section of Lozells Street has been cordoned off to enable officers to carry out enquiries.
Detective Inspector Nick Barnes, from the force’s homicide unit, said:
