Three men have been arrested after a man was shot in Birmingham.

The victim turned up at hospital on Thursday with bullet wounds which were not thought to be life-threatening, West Midlands Police said.

One man, 45, was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and two others, aged 45 and 48, were arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to commit murder.

The trio were taken into custody after armed officers raided an address on Hamstead Road, Handsworth, on Sunday.

Part of the road was cordoned off on Thursday after the man arrived at hospital and officers carried out inquiries and CCTV checks.
