A West Midlands Police spokesperson confirmed: "We're investigating an assault on Hob Moor Road in Birmingham. The incident took place shortly after 1.20pm on July 9. We're checking CCTV and speaking with people. This will form part of our enquiries. Our enquiries continue."
Officers are examining CCTV footage and plan to speak with individuals involved in the alleged incident. The school, which caters for pupils aged three to 16, has denied the father's allegation. A spokesperson for Starbank School refused BirminghamLive's request for an official statement when approached.
Background and Context
The investigation comes amid a series of violent incidents in the Birmingham area. Recent reports include a second stabbing in Alum Rock within eight days, and a Solihull Popworld victim who had an ear bitten off in a brutal attack still awaiting justice. However, police have not linked these incidents to the Starbank School case.
Starbank School is an all-through academy that serves the local community. The alleged assault has raised concerns among parents and residents about safety at the school. The police are urging anyone with information to come forward.
