'I can't believe there was another one.' That was the reaction of Tracey Allbright, a resident of Brierley Hill town centre who was only a street away from where an 18-year-old man was knifed this week.

The concern comes following an incident on High Street at around 6.30pm on Thursday that left a young man with serious injuries. Police have since arrested an 18-year-old woman and 16-year-old boy on suspicion of attempted murder.

Now, residents of the area have spoken to the Express & Star about their concerns after seeing the mass of blue lights descend on their streets.

Tracey Allbright, 52, of Brierley Hill, said: "It's getting worse I think. I didn't see it happen, but you could see the blue lights everywhere. It's terrifying really.
