Following last night’s (Saturday, October 19) stabbing on Kidderminster’s Dudley Street, West Mercia Police have issued a call for witnesses.

Four individuals, ages 18, 34, 35, and 37, were then taken into custody by officers on suspicion of intentionally hurting someone.

“First and foremost, I would like to reassure the local community that we believe this to be an isolated incident and that there is no wider threat,” stated Emma Whitworth, Detective Chief Inspector. I understand that a headline like this can be very concerning, but rest assured that a comprehensive inquiry is already underway.
