Knife seized after seven people brawl in Codsall
Officers discovered a knife after responding to a fight between seven people in a street in Codsall.
Staffordshire Police rushed to the scene of Ringhills Road, Wolverhampton, at around 6.30pm on Tuesday after a resident spotted a group of seven people fighting.
Local officers attended the scene, prompting the group to run away. Officers investigated the scene, quickly finding three youths from the group in the area.
The youths were searched, leading to the discovery of a knife. The knife was seized and officers made sure no one was injured.
Officers detained the youth carrying the knife and will be dealing with him as part of their ongoing investigation.
PC Thomas Evans, from the South Staffordshire local policing team, said: "Stopping people from carrying knives and taking robust action against those responsible for high-harm offences is a major priority for us in Staffordshire.
“Thankfully, no one was hurt in this incident, but carrying a knife puts lives at risk, including the life of the person carrying it.
"It’s vital that we continue encouraging parents and guardians to speak to their children about the dangers of carrying a knife and the impact it can have on them and the people they love."
