Police are renewing appeals for information after a teenager, 14, was hit by a bike and seriously injured.
Officers were called to Yatesbury Avenue after the boy was hit by a black-and-yellow bike in Castle Vale Centre Park.
West Midlands Police said: “We understand the bike involved was a black-and-yellow off-road scrambler, and we are following several lines of enquiry to locate it. Although the pictures we are releasing aren’t the clearest – any information could be vital to our investigation.”
Police have released the below picture of the bike.
Detective Sergeant Rich Evans, from the police’s Serious Collision Investigation Unit, said: “Someone, somewhere must know something about this bike, and we are focussed on finding it as we continue our investigation.
“It may have been dumped or may be being stored.
“Any information, no matter how small, could be vital to our enquiries.
“Likewise, if anyone saw what happened, or has footage from around the area, please get in touch urgently.”
A 16-year-old boy who was arrested in connection with the crash has been released on bail.
Anyone with information that could help the investigation should contact West Midlands Police via Live Chat on the force website or by calling 101, quoting log 4455 of May 31.
