"Officers attended the incident and a woman, aged 34, was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder.

A spokesperson for West Midlands Ambulance Service said it also sent emergency vehicles to a private address on the street.

"They were both treated for serious injuries and taken to hospital."

One resident, who asked not to be named, said: "I was watching the Euros when I saw all these vehicles rushing past.

"One police car came whizzing by, then an unmarked police car, then a police van, and then an ambulance."

Another resident, who was walking her dog on Talavera Road the following morning, said there was a police cordon around the home.

She said: "I was unaware of what had happened the night before, but I saw police tape around the front of the house early on Sunday during my walk.

"There was dried blood on the driveway, and one police car parked outside still."

One resident who lives close to the property said: "Another of my neighbours was having a party, but I could still hear the shouting nearby."
