Two men stabbed at Birmingham music event

Two men were stabbed at a music event in Birmingham on Saturday evening, prompting the evacuation of partygoers from the venue.

West Midlands Police responded to reports of the incident at the Cru2 event held outdoors at Luna Springs on Lower Trinity Street in Digbeth shortly before 7 p.m. on May 9. A police spokeswoman said the two victims had been taken to a hospital, where their injuries were assessed as not life-threatening. "Officers remain in the area and at the scene while an investigation takes place to understand exactly what happened and find those responsible," she added.

Attendees were instructed to leave the venue midway through the event. A screen behind the DJ booth first displayed a message reading, "There has been an incident. Can everyone please bare with us." This was soon updated to, "There has been an incident. Can everyone please leave the venue via the nearest exit." One attendee described the sudden turn of events to local reporters: "We were waiting for the next act to come on stage and then we had to leave. We were all stunned." Another said, "It was amazing until the unfortunate event."

No arrests have been made, and detectives continue to investigate...
