Police appeal after two men attacked by group armed with 'baseball bats'

West Midlands Police are investigating after two men were attacked by a group of men armed with weapons in Walsall on Tuesday afternoon. 

The men were attacked on West Bromwich Street, Caldmore, at around 4.45pm, with the two men both being taken to hospital, thankfully, both men were not seriously injured. 

A West Midlands Police spokesperson said: "We’re investigating after two men were attacked by a group of men with baseball bats in Walsall.

"The men were attacked on West Bromwich Street at around 4.45pm yesterday (Tues). They were both taken to hospital although thankfully they were not seriously injured."

Police believe the attack was due to a 'road rage incident' and have asked for anyone with information, or witnesses to the attack, to get in touch with them immediately.

"We believe the attack was carried out following a road rage incident. 

"We are appealing for witnesses or anyone with any information, including dashcam footage, to please contact us via Live Chat on our website or by calling 101 quoting crime reference number 20/106408/25. Alternatively, call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111."

 A video being circulated online shows the brawl taking place on the busy Walsall street, with the two men being seen to be attacked with blunt objects.

The appeal also comes after West Midlands Police issued a section 60 order for Walsall following a separate incident on Pool Street, with the order being extended until 10pm on Wednesday.

A man is currently in hospital with his condition described as potentially life-changing. 

Five men have been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder following the disorder. Two men, both aged 21, remain in custody while three others, two aged 25 and a 20-year-old, are on bail with strict conditions.
