A teenage boy has been arrested after a 19-year-old man was stabbed in a park.

The injured man was treated in hospital for injuries to his leg and chest but later discharged, police said.

The attack took place at about 16:30 BST on Sunday at Handsworth Park, Birmingham.

West Midlands Police arrested a 15-year-old at his home during the early hours of Sunday.

A spokesperson described the victim's injuries as "not life-changing".

The 15-year-old was questioned by officers in connection with the incident and bailed pending further enquiries.

An area of the park cordoned off by police for a forensic search has since reopened.

Officers are keen to hear from people who were in the park at the time.
