A councillor has told how he rushed to help the teenager who had been stabbed before emergency services arrived.
Tuli Zefi, Reform councillor for Langley Ward, was driving past when he witnessed the incident on Market Street, Oldbury.
Winding down his window, Cllr Zefi says he shouted at a group to ‘pack it in’ before they ran off and left the 19-year-old who had been stabbed, reported BirminghamLive.
He said: “Today (July 2), on my way to the Council House, I witnessed something that no one should ever have to see. At first, I thought a group of young lads were just messing around. I wound my window down and shouted for them to pack it in.
“A group of them ran off, and when I asked the remaining young man if he was okay, he told me he thought he’d been stabbed. I got out of my car, saw the injury, and did what I could to help until the ambulance arrived. I stayed with him, tried to stop the bleeding, and kept talking to him to reassure him.”
