Two more teenagers have been charged in connection with reported stabbings during disorder in Smethwick.

Two men were previously taken to hospital with stab wounds following the incident in Foundry Lane on 26th May.

Police were called to reports of 'armed violence'.

Five people have already been charged in connection.

Police made two more arrests this morning (5th June) in Birmingham.

They arrested a 19-year-old and an 18-year-old.

Sharing the footage could potentially prejudice legal proceedings.
