Think it's safe to walk the streets in Dudley?

An 18-year-old man has been stabbed several times by a group of men while out walking with his girlfriend in the West Midlands.

The couple were shouted at by a group of five to 10 Asian men in their mid teens and early 20s in Dudley last Friday evening, West Midlands Police said.

The victim was then punched and kicked before being stabbed four times during the incident in Blowers Green Road.
