CCTV appeal after machete attack during brawl
Police are hunting seven men after six people were injured in a fight, including one who was seriously hurt after being slashed to the face with a machete.
CCTV images show the faces of seven suspects that police want to speak to after a fight broke out on Longbank Road in Tividale just before 9pm on July 25.
Five people suffered minor injuries after being shot with an air rifle, while a sixth man suffered serious injuries after being slashed on the face with a machete, West Midlands Police say.
However, a West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesman has said that they only treated four men for injuries after the incident.
He said: "We were called at 9.03pm by the police to reports of a fight in progress.
"We sent an ambulance, two paramedic officers and the merit trauma doctor.
"A man in his 30s had been assaulted, his injuries were serious but not life threatening.
"Two other men had minor injuries for a pellet gun and they were treated at the scene.
"A fourth man said he did not want our assistance and that he would make his own way to hospital."
