Overview
- The stabbing happened in the Beggars Bush pub car park on Chester Road, with officers called to the scene just before 2am on Sunday after a man in his 20s was found fatally wounded.
- West Midlands Police have launched a murder investigation, cordoned the area and erected a forensic tent as detectives review CCTV, dashcam and phone footage.
- The attack occurred during a promoted birthday event at the pub that earlier livestreamed entertainment, which may increase the number of eyewitnesses and available footage.
- No arrests have been announced and detectives have urged anyone with information to contact police, asking people who share footage to quote the incident reference when they get in touch.
- The Beggars Bush and nearby businesses remain closed, floral tributes have been left at the scene, and Greene King says it is supporting staff and the victim’s family while the inquiry remains at an early stage.
