The attack sparked a major emergency response, with an air ambulance landing at Old Swinford Hospital School.

The boys were seriously injured and were taken to hospital where they are now in a stable condition.

Meanwhile a weapon has been recovered by officers investigating the attack, West Midlands Police said.

However the force has not yet confirmed the type of weapon found.
