A woman was stabbed in the back twice by masked men in an attempted robbery

West Midlands Police said the 18-year-old woman was with a friend in the Willenhall area of Coventry on Tuesday when they were approached by a group of about six men.

They demanded cash and jewellery before attacking the woman on St James Lane at about 14:30 BST.

She was taken to hospital with two stab wounds. The force said she was not seriously injured.

Investigations continue and the force has appealed for any witnesses to get in touch.

Broad daylight! These people have no fear, they know that the chances of being caught are slim and a 'real' conviction even slimmer. :fuming:

I'm not convinced it happened the way we've been told it happened? :roll:

Maybe not Dutchman, but it was all over F/B as it 'unfolded'.

There has also been a spate of burglaries around the Willenhall and Binley areas, which may (or may not) be connected.
