A 24-YEAR-OLD man was last night stabbed to death in a quiet residential street as the knife crime epidemic continues in Britain.

The man was found at the scene with critical injuries and despite the efforts of medics he was sadly pronounced dead a short time later.

A cordon remains in place to allow for investigations to be carried out in the area.

Detective Inspector Michelle Allen, from West Midlands Police, said: “A man has sadly lost his life and we are working hard to establish the circumstances around what happened.

“The investigation is in its early stages, and we’re keen to hear from anyone who can help us piece together the circumstances leading up to the attack.

“If you were in Arran Way at the time, please contact us as you may have vital information about what happened.”

The shocking incident came just hours after a man in his 40s was knifed in Clapham, South London.

The victim, named locally as dad-of-three Gavin Garrway, was stabbed to death in front of terrified shoppers in broad daylight on Friday.

CCTV footage shows the moment three men sprinted past locals after he was attacked outside Clapham Common Tube station.

Stunned locals stop in the busy street as the young men flee the scene after launching the attack – the third violent death in the capital in just three days.

Gavin became the 32nd murder victim in capital so far this year, of which 21 stabbed.
