Two West Midlands Police identification appeals in Birmingham, an update in a Handsworth death investigation, and Metro service changes that affect travel into Birmingham city centre later this month.
Heartlands Hospital appeal after racist abuse and threats
West Midlands Police are appealing for information after an incident at Heartlands Hospital in Bordesley Green.
Police say that at around 4pm on 14 January, a man entered the hospital and shouted racist abuse at several people and made threats. Officers say they want to speak to the man pictured in their appeal as they investigate what happened.
Perry Barr robbery appeal after woman pulled to the floor
Police have also issued an identification appeal after a robbery on Walsall Road, Perry Barr.
West Midlands Police say a woman was robbed at around 5pm on 29 December. Officers say she was approached by a man who grabbed her handbag, pulling her onto the floor, before leaving with the bag, which contained money.
Handsworth: investigation after man dies following serious injuries
West Midlands Police say they are investigating after a man died after being found with serious injuries in Handsworth.
Police say they were called just after 12.45pm on Monday 2 February to reports of a man in cardiac arrest on a supermarket car park on Soho Road. Officers say the man, aged 40, later died in hospital. Police say they believe he was involved in disorder in the Soho Road/Holyhead Road area before he was found.
Police say a 34-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and has been bailed pending further enquiries. A second 34-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of assault and has been released under investigation, police said.
Metro: February service changes and mid-month tie-in works
West Midlands Metro has published its February service changes, including works that will affect travel into Birmingham city centre.
Metro says Wolverhampton St George’s stop will not be in use from Saturday 7 February while signalling equipment is replaced.
Metro also says that from 21:15 on Monday 16 February until the end of service on Wednesday 18 February, trams will run only between Wednesbury Great Western Street and Wolverhampton Station. Metro says there will be no services between Wednesbury Great Western Street and Edgbaston Village during that window, before normal service resumes from the start of service on Thursday 19 February.
Metro says ticket acceptance will apply on specific alternative services during the works, including National Express bus routes and West Midlands Railway services between Wolverhampton and Birmingham for season ticket holders only.
