A teenager has been arrested after woman and two girls were found stabbed at a house in Birmingham.

Police were called to the horrific scene in Small Heath, Birmingham, at around 7.20am after neighbours reported hearing screams.

Officers found a 13-year-old girl with stab injuries on the pavement.

Inside the house was a woman in her 40s and another girl believed to be aged 16.

It is understood all three victims are related.

The trio were rushed to hospital where their condition is unknown at this time.

A 17-year-old man, believed to be the brother of the two girls, was arrested in the same street - he had suffered a minor cut to his hand.

A baby was also found inside the address unharmed.

The multiple stabbing took place near to a primary school which has been closed for the day as a result.

West Midlands Police Force Incident Manager, Chief Inspector Jack Hadley, said: “All three casualties have suffered multiple knife wounds but the seriousness of their injuries is unclear at this stage.

“This appears to be a contained, domestic incident: one man was arrested outside the address and we are not actively seeking anyone else in connection with the incident.”

Police have cordoned off Little Green Lane to allow forensic scene examiners to scour the location and clear space for the air ambulance to land.
