Boy, 11, arrested for 'possession of knife' and 'assaulting officer' at Sandwell park
An 11-year-old has been arrested after police said he was carrying a knife and assaulted a police officer in a Sandwell park.
Officers rushed to Tividale Park in the borough after receiving calls over a man threatening people with a knife.
A boy was found in possession of a blade at around 12.30pm on Thursday, say police – and allegedly assaulted an officer at the scene.
The boy has since been released on bail, a spokesman for West Midlands Police confirmed.
