POLICE have launched an investigation after a teenager was assaulted in Lye last night (Saturday April 27).
The 17-year-old was taken to hospital with a puncture wound to his back after an incident in the High Street just before 10pm.
West Midlands Police said officers were called to reports of an assault and a spokesperson for the force said today: “We continue to investigate the assault and anyone with any information is urged to call us on 101 quoting log 4222 27/4/24.
“Alternatively, people can leave information anonymously by calling Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.”
Lye community campaigner Naz Ahmed, a Liberal Democrat candidate for Lye & Stourbridge North, has called for regular police patrols in the area following the incident, described as "fighting and stabbing" as he told how residents fear “authorities are waiting for a tragedy” before addressing ongoing problems in Lye High Street.
