Three men stabbed outside Spearmint Rhino strip club as mass brawl breaks out

Three men were stabbed in a brawl which broke out in central Birmingham early this morning.

The fight, which erupted around 3am, involved up to a dozen men, with three left with serious injuries.

It happened on Hagley Road, close to a Spearmint Rhino bar and strip club, Birmingham Live reports.

The injured men were said to have transported themselves to hospital, with two presenting themselves at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital with stab injuries.

Another man later turned up at City Hospital also having suffered a stab wound.

A West Midlands Police spokesman said: "We're investigating a disorder in Birmingham in the early hours of this morning (18 Aug) in which three men are believed to have suffered serious stab wounds.

"It happened at around 3am in Hagley Road and is understood to have involved up to 12 men.

"Shortly afterwards two men presented themselves to QE Hospital with stab injuries and another man later turned up at City Hospital also having suffered a stab wound. It’s suspected they were injured during the fight.”

None of the injuries were thought to be life threatening, he said.

The scene remained cordoned off while officers completed a forensic examination.

No one had yet been arrested, and enquiries are underway.

Pictures from the scene today showed a police cordon still in place, restricting access to the Spearmint Rhino car park and neighbouring Radclyffe House.

A number of forensic tents could be seen outside.

A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokeswoman said: ""We were called at 03.05 to a disturbance on Hagley Road, Birmingham.

"We sent two paramedic officers and Hazardous Area Response Team paramedics to the scene. However, on arrival, no one required assessment and we were stood down from the scene."
