A man has today appeared at court accused of attempted murder in Walsall.

Abdul Malique, aged 41, from Cobden Street, Coventry, has been charged in connection with the stabbing of Caldmore man Keith Reid.

Mr Reid, 42, remains in a serious but stable condition in Walsall Manor Hospital after suffering multiple stab wounds.

It follows an attack near the junction of Wednesbury Road and Corporation Street just before midnight on Sunday.

Malique appeared before Walsall Magistrates Court this morning. No plea was entered and the case was committed to Wolverhampton Crown Court.

Two other men, 21 and 24, have been bailed pending further inquiries. A 35-year-old has been released without charge.
