Police have arrested two men on suspicion of attempted murder in connection with a shooting in Smethwick last month.

Officers from West Midlands Police say it took place in Cape Hill On October 23.

A man in his 20s was dropped off by a vehicle at Birmingham City Hospital in the early hours of the morning with a leg injury. His injuries were not life threatening.
