Two teenagers have been arrested after a city centre stabbing in which a man was seriously injured.

Emergency services were called to an area off Holliday Street in Birmingham just before 06:00 GMT on Sunday.

The victim, in his 20s and thought to be a robbery victim, remains in a critical condition.

The force said the boys, both aged 17, are being held on suspicion of attempted murder and remain in police custody for questioning.

Det Insp Greg Evans said: "We believe this stabbing happened as the victim, and another man, were robbed, but we are still keen to hear from anyone with any information which can assist our enquiries."
