Forensic officers have removed two foot-long zombie knives from a blood-soaked scene of carnage where a teenage boy was set upon by a mob and repeatedly stabbed in another night of gang violence in Birmingham.
The victim, 17, is in hospital with serious injuries after being attacked by a gang of youths in the Kings Heath area of the city at around 7.30pm on Wednesday.
Forensic teams have been working at several areas of interest close to the scene of the stabbing overnight, with horrifying pictures showing a large machete or zombie type knife and bloodied clothing being recovered by officers.
The teenager, believed to be local, is understood to have been attacked in Meadfoot Avenue.
A second large knife was also recovered just metres from a family home in Camford Grove.
