Police are investigating after a teenage boy was stabbed at one of the busiest railway stations in the country.

British Transport Police (BTP) said officers and paramedics were called to Birmingham New Street at about 20:00 BST on Monday, following reports of violence between several teenagers.

A boy was treated for stab wounds at the scene and taken to hospital with injuries not thought to be life-threatening.

No arrests have yet been made, and BTP are appealing for witnesses to come forward.

"There is absolutely no place for violence on the railway network, and detectives are working at pace to investigate this incident," said Det Insp Connor Towes.

"Passengers will see an increased police presence at the station while officers carry out their enquiries."
