A murder investigation has been launched after a man was found with vicious stab wounds in a road in Birmingham in the early hours of this morning (Monday).

Police were alerted by paramedics who were treating the wounded victim in Stratford Road, at the junction of Priestley Road, Sparkbrook, at around 12.50am.

The man, believed to be in his 40s, was rushed to hospital but sadly died a short time later.

Three men in their 30s and another man in his 20s have been arrested on suspicion of murder and remain in police custody as the investigation continues.

Police cordons remain in place around a section of the murder scene.

Detective Superintendent Shaun Edwards, from Force CID, said: “We are still trying to piece together what happened in the early hours of this morning.

“We are appealing for anyone who was in or around the area, in particular if anyone has any dash-cam footage that captures the incident, to get in touch.

“Part of Stratford Road has been cordoned off while a thorough forensic search is carried out; with detectives also examining CCTV in the area.”
