A 14-year-old boy will appear in court today charged with wounding with intent after a man suffered life threatening injuries in Sedgley on Sunday.

The 18-year-old victim was found with a stab wound to his stomach in the High Street at around 6pm. His condition has since improved and he is recovering well in hospital. 

The teenager, who was arrested several hours later at his home address, is due at Dudley Magistrates Court this morning. 

A 15-year-old boy also arrested in connection with the incident has been released without charge. 

Officers are continuing to appeal for anyone who has information to assist the investigation to contact them on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
