A teenager has been been stabbed during a phone robbery on a bus.
The 18-year-old was attacked for his phone in Small Heath last night, Friday, November 15.
Emergency services flooded the junction of Golden Hillock Road and Coventry Road at around 6pm.
Footage from the scene showed at least four ambulance response vehicles surrounding a National Express West Midlands bus.
The busy shopping area was sealed off at the junction of Coventry Road while paramedics worked at the scene. A cordon was erected around the junction, closing Golden Hillock Road and part of Coventry Road.
The cordon lifted later that evening and full access was restored for motorists. The road was fully reopened on Saturday morning, with traffic moving freely down Coventry Road and Golden Hillock Road.
