A man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after another man was found with fatal injuries.

Officers were called to an address on Swancote Road in Dudley, just before 02:30 GMT on Saturday.

A man in his 40s was found with injuries at the scene but nothing could be done to save him, West Midlands Police said.

Following inquiries, a 36-year-old man was detained in Wednesbury a few hours later and was in police custody for questioning, a force spokesperson added.

A scene remains in place on the road and officers are carrying out door-to-door inquiries.

The force has appealed for anyone with information or dashcam or doorbell footage to contact them.
