Residents are living in fear on a "rough" street where a woman was seriously injured after being stabbed near an infants school. The victim was attacked in West Bromwich Road, Walsall, close to Whitehall Nursery and Infant School, on Wednesday morning, April 6.

Police arrested a 66-year-old man on suspicion of attempted murder after he was found sitting on a wall a short time later. Residents living in terraced houses on the road, located in the Palfrey area of Walsall, say it is "not a nice area" and they are scared to leave their homes at night.

Now they will probe what happened after the woman was rushed to the hospital with serious injuries.
