Bournville A unit attended reports of disorder in Longbridge this afternoon during which this ‘bayonet’ knife was brandished at officers. The second time in a week this has happened to my team. #Taser was deployed and two persons are now in custody whilst enquires continue. KS pic.twitter.com/5xtLNE8iOx
