The victim died at the scene, in Lichfield Street in Bilston, following a disorder on Thursday night at around 11.30pm.
A 46-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of murder.
But he is currently being treated for his wounds and police are under no time limit to charge or release him.
Two other men were injured and taken to hospital. They are not in a serious condition.
Detective Inspector Justin Spanner from the force’s homicide team said: “A murder investigation has been launched and I am appealing for anyone who may have been in the High Street, Bilston between 11.30pm and midnight who may have seen what happened leading up to the attack to call police on 101 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111."
