Four teenagers have been arrested after an outbreak of disorder in Birmingham city centre which saw police recover a zombie knife.

The trouble flared in Victoria Square at around 15:50 GMT on Saturday, after a planned demonstration had recently finished in the area, West Midlands Police said. No-one was known to be injured.

The knife was found in the area and seized by police who are now analysing it, the force said.

The boys, aged between 14 and 16, were arrested on suspicion of violent disorder. Police are reviewing footage and liaising with security staff who were present for the demonstration.
