One of two men stabbed in a Birmingham city centre bar has been arrested after being discharged from hospital.

Two men, aged 51 and 49, were stabbed at Bar Room Bar at the Mailbox shortly after 20:30 BST on Saturday.

Officers arrested two men, aged 18 and 20, shortly afterwards, who remain in custody.

The 51-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of violent disorder after receiving treatment for a neck wound.

The 49-year-old who suffered chest wounds in the attack remains in hospital in a stable condition, West Midlands Police said.

Det Insp Harry Harrison, who is leading the investigation, said it appeared to be "a targeted attack" as a result of an ongoing dispute between two families.

Officers are still trying to trace another man who left the scene.
