The two men, in their 40s, were treated for their injuries, with a West Midlands Ambulance statement saying: "We were called to a police incident on Bertram Road, Smethwick, at 12.16pm.

"An ambulance, a paramedic officer, a MERIT trauma doctor and critical care paramedic were sent to the scene where, on arrival, crews found two patients, both men.

"The first was treated for minor injuries by ambulance crews," the statement continued.
