COPS have launched a murder probe after a man was stabbed to death after being “rammed” off the road by another driver.
Officers are appealing for witnesses after the horror attack in Castle Bromwich, West Midlands, yesterday evening.
It is believed that the victim in his 50s was attacked by a group of people, all of whom fled the scene.
He was found with serious injuries and could not be saved.
A spokesperson for West Midlands Police said: “We’ve launched a murder investigation after a man was stabbed to death in Castle Bromwich.
