Three men, a woman and a teenage girl have been arrested after the death of a man found slumped by the side of a Birmingham road with a stab wound to his chest.

West Midlands Police said the male suspects - aged 22, 30 and 40 - had been taken into custody for questioning after being detained at separate addresses in Nottingham on Sunday.

A 28-year-old woman and a 15-year-old-girl were detained at the scene the previous evening and remain in custody, the force added.

Officers were called to Mill Pool Way in Bournbrook, at the junction to the city’s busy Bristol Road, at 5pm on Saturday.

The victim was pronounced dead in hospital just over an hour later. He is yet to be formally identified.

Detective Inspector Stu Mobberley, who is leading the investigation, said: "We've made rapid progress overnight having worked with colleagues at Nottinghamshire Police to arrested three men we believe were involved in the stabbing.

"Our inquiries continue and we are actively seeking at least one other person.

"I still really need to hear from anyone who was in Mill Pool Way, Bournbrook, at around 4-5pm yesterday and who saw what happened, or any disorder, to get in touch."

Roads closed by police following the stabbing have now reopened but officers were maintaining an increased presence in the area on Sunday.

Police requested any witnesses call 101 or message via live chat on the West Midlands Police website, quoting log 3112 from 22 August.
