Violent Assault Shakes Small Heath Community
West Midlands Police have jailed a man following a vicious knife attack in Small Heath. On 9 August last year, two men arrived outside a property on Monica Road at around 6pm. They targeted a man sitting on a quad bike, pushing him to the ground and slashing him multiple times with a flick knife. Thankfully, the victim’s injuries were not life-threatening.
