Six people have been arrested over disorder in which two men were stabbed and taken to hospital.

Police were called to the incident near Dunstall Peace Park on Staveley Road in Whitmore Reans, Wolverhampton, at about 16:45 GMT on Monday.

Six men had been held on suspicion of violent disorder and the two stabbed men's injuries were not believed to be life threatening, the West Midlands force said.

Earlier, police and the ambulance service said a total of three people had been taken to hospital.

A man was treated for serious injuries before being transported to hospital, West Midlands Ambulance Service said.

A second man was treated for potentially serious injuries and a third man was treated for injuries not believed to be serious.

Police are continuing to patrol areas of the city after a man was killed in a shooting on Lilleshall Crescent on Saturday, days after another man died after being attacked in a car park off Dudley Road on 22 October.
