A man in his 20s has died after being stabbed in a city centre in the early hours of this morning.

West Midlands Police were called to Upper Well Street in Coventry around 2:40am where they found a second victim with stab wounds to his hands.

He has been taken to hospital for treatment of his hands.

Police arrested a 23-year-old man on suspicion of murder and attempted murder shortly after they attended the scene.
