Detectives investigating the murder of a man stabbed to death after his car was rammed have made a second arrest.

West Midlands Police arrested a 28-year-old in Solihull on suspicion of murdering Kelvin Ward in Birmingham.

Mr Ward, 50, was found with stab wounds on Chester Road in Castle Bromwich at about 20:15 BST on Tuesday.

The car he was travelling in was rammed by another vehicle at a junction before he was attacked and stabbed by a group of people, police believe.

A 16-year-old boy has already arrested on suspicion of his murder.

He was detained on Thursday and West Midlands Police has since been granted more time to question him.
