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.

One resident, who did not want to be named, said: 'I heard shouting and looked outside and saw a large group run off down the road. 'I could see a young lad laying on the ground. 'Not long after ambulance and police were everywhere.' It follows a spate of gang-related incidents in the city following lockdown restrictions being eased earlier this year. Video footage showed the moment a gang of machete-wielding thugs chased a man along a residential street in broad daylight to the shock of homeowners and passing motorists. The short clip begins with a lone knifeman dressed in blue swinging his weapon at approaching attackers before deciding to flee for his own safety. The incident took place in the Alum Rock area of the city in September. In the same month, more disturbing footage caught a gang attacking a man with machetes and hammers in a busy road. Dashcam footage shows two men wildly swinging their weapons at a third man. As he tried to flee from the attackers, the man runs into the middle of the road and into the path of a silver Vauxhall Corsa. This is the horrifying moment violent thugs wielding machetes and hammers attack a man at a busy road in Birmingham. Dashcam footage shared on Twitter shows two men wildly swinging their weapons at a third man. He bounced off the bonnet onto the road and desperately tried to escape his assailants as they continue to strike at him. Motorists were forced to stop on the junction as the daylight attack took place. Terrifying CCTV footage also showed the moment a gunman opened fire on a gang rival's house leaving neighbours diving for covers in a drive by shooting in another residential street. Footage captured two loud shotgun blasts and smoke pouring out of a property that had been attacked with baseball bats just an hour before. In the space of 20 seconds a car pulls up, three masked thugs armed with baseball bats get out and proceed to smash the front windows of the property, before returning to the vehicle and speeding away. West Midlands Police said knife crime had dropped by 13 per cent between April 2020 and March 2021. However, the the decrease came among an increasing number of young people losing their lives to knife crime. Deputy Chief Constable Vanessa Jardine said earlier this year: 'The drop in recorded knife crime is welcomed but this continues to be challenging for us as a force at a time where we have had tragic deaths of young people recently involving knives.' Violent crime is rising across the area once again since lockdown restrictions ended, though. Hundreds of officers are returning to the beat across West Midlands as part of an effort to tackle increasing violent crime, according to BirminghamLive. Police and Crime Commissioner Simon Foster says he aims to put 450 more officers into neighbourhood policing over the next four years as part of a 'core mission' to 'rebuild community policing'. The force is understood to have around 1,000 fewer officers than in 2010. A large police cordon in place following the stabbing of a 17-year-old boy in the Kings Heath area of Birmingham Over the following 11 years, knife crime has risen faster in the West Midlands than anywhere else in the country. Police figures have also shown a rise in the number of gang-related knife crime incidents year-on-year. A 'gang special interest marker' is used by police for incidents 'involving gang nominal or gang criminality'. In 2015, West Midlands Police recorded five knife crime incidents with a gang-related special interest marker. That figure, though, jumped more than six-fold to 32 across 2019. West Midlands Police has been contacted for a statement on the stabbing. All rights reserved for this news site (dailymail) and under his responsibility
