India Blooms News Service | @indiablooms | 06 Sep 2020, 12:11 pm

London/IBNS: The British Police on Sunday confirmed a "major incident" of multiple stabbings in the Birmingham city of England.

"We can confirm that at approximately 12:30 am today (Sunday 6 September) we were called to reports of a stabbing in Birmingham city centre", West Midlands Police said in a statement.

"We are aware of a number of injured people, but at the moment we are not in a position to say how many or how serious."

"However, all emergency services are working together at the scene, and making sure that those who are injured receive medical care," the police statement added.

Television channels showed that a large area in the vicinity of the incident was cordoned off by the police.

"Work is still going on to establish what has happened, and could take some time before we are in a position to confirm anything," West Midlands Police said.

"The emergency services have well-rehearsed plans for dealing with major incidents. Our response is ongoing in Birmingham city centre and will be for some time. Cordons are in place, and there are some road closures," they added.
