Scene of Violence on Summer Lane
West Midlands Police were called to Summer Lane, near the border of the city centre and Hockley, shortly before 5 am on Saturday, December 6. Officers initially responded to reports of a traffic collision due to the sight of smashed vehicles, but quickly discovered a far more serious incident.

A significant police response led to the arrest of ten individuals at the scene. Those detained comprise eight men and two women, all aged between 19 and 24 years old.
They have all been arrested on suspicion of violent disorder and wounding and remain in police custody for questioning. The road was cordoned off for most of the day as forensic investigations took place.
Appeal for Witnesses After Luxury Car Destroyed
