Police cordoned off an area close to McDonald's on the retail park in Wednesfield, Wolverhampton.

Officers were called to the scene at just after 2pm today.

A West Midlands Police spokesman said the extent of his injuries are unclear at this stage but he was conscious and talking.

The investigation is in the early stages.

Anyone with information is asked to call 101; quoting log number 1592 of 1/7/18.

Meanwhile a 15-year-old boy was stabbed in Birmingham city centre on Saturday night.

Police attended Carrs Lane close to Marks and Spencers at around 9.30pm as part of their investigation.

A 15-year-old boy was taken to hospital after suffering a stab wound to the leg.

It is believed he had been attacked in Pershore Road, Edgbaston, at around 8.30pm.

His injuries are not believed to be serious.

The attack is the latest in a series of knife crimes and stabbings around Wolverhampton.

A man was left seriously injured in a suspected machete attack in Heath Town on Tuesday, just weeks after 15-year-old Keelan Wilson was stabbed to death in Merry Hill.

Just hours before the teenager's murder, violence flared in the city centre between a group of machete-wielding men.

The violence came as leading police bosses say they were working to curb the threat of knife crime.

West Midlands Police and Crime Commissioner, David Jamieson, said he was aiming to tackle violence.

He claimed £2m is being invested in mentoring schemes to help young people make the right life choices and defuse gang criminality.
