A major investigation has been launched after a woman was abducted in broad daylight this morning.

The woman was forced into a blue Audi A4 against her will in Foleshill Road at 11.20am.

The vehicle mounted the kerb and four men got out, attacking two women who were nearby.

One of them was forced into the car, which drove off with the four men inside too.

The incident is being treated as a potential abduction and a major inquiry is currently underway, led by specialist investigators from West Midlands Police Force CID.
