Police have released eight suspects on bail following a major violent disorder in Birmingham that saw two men stabbed and a luxury supercar wrecked.
Scene of Violence in Summer Lane
The incident unfolded on Summer Lane in Hockley shortly before 5am on Saturday, December 6. Emergency services rushed to the scene to find two men in their 20s with stab wounds. Both victims were taken to hospital, where they were described as being in a serious but stable condition.
In the aftermath, a scene of significant damage was left behind. A yellow Lamborghini Urus, valued at over £200,000, and a Skoda were found smashed up inside a police cordon. The high-performance Lamborghini was photographed with its doors open, windows shattered and its airbags deployed. The cordon remained in place for more than 12 hours as forensic work began.
Investigation and Arrests
In the wake of the violence, West Midlands Police arrested ten people – eight men and two women – on suspicion of violent disorder and wounding. The force has now confirmed that, as of Tuesday, December 16, the eight individuals who were detained have been released on bail pending further enquiries.
Detectives are continuing their investigation into the shocking early-morning disturbance. A key part of their work involves a detailed trawl through CCTV footage from the area.
