We were called following disorder outside a mosque on Oldbury Road at just before 9pm yesterday (20 February).

An 18-year-old man was found with serious injuries and tragically died. Our thoughts are with his loved ones at this devastating time. 

Two other men - aged 19 and 22 - were taken to hospital although their injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.

At this stage the incident is not being treated as religiously or racially aggravated but we're working to establish the full circumstances and who was involved.

We're reviewing CCTV and carrying out other enquiries in the area.

We understand how deeply distressing and concerning this incident is and we will have extra officers in the area over the coming days to offer reassurance to the community.

We would urge witnesses or people with information, including mobile phone or dashcam footage, to please contact us using the details on the right hand side of this page or the link below.
