A\u00a0vicious fight broke out inside a Birmingham bridal shop<\/a> Seher Boutique on Alum Rock Road,\u00a0Alum Rock<\/a> on Saturday 21 July around 5.30pm as onlookers watched in horror<\/span><\/p>\n

Bystanders gathered outside as armed police and ambulance crews raced to the scene where a\u00a0mass brawl broke out which reportedly included the use of weapons<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Four people, who were badly hurt have also been arrested.<\/p>\n

A local resident in Alum Rock, who didn\u2019t want to be named, said: \u201cYeah, I witnessed it.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe owners called for help and it was just carnage, people were watching in shock from outside the window.<\/p>\n

\u201cMetal poles from inside the shop were used – there was just blood everywhere inside the shop. That\u2019s why they\u2019ve got a police tent blocking it today.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another bystander, speaking just yards away from the crime scene, added: \u201cThis was all blocked off yesterday, you had armed police, paramedics.<\/p>\n

\u201cI saw a woman who had blood seeping from her head, she was led away by police officers.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe shutters were pulled down and that\u2019s when you could hear lots of screaming and shouting.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know what\u2019s going on in Birmingham lately but it\u2019s not good. It\u2019s all going downhill.\u201d<\/p>\n

The shop has been cordoned off and two officers are standing guard outside the shop, where rails of clothing remain outside.<\/p>\n

Police have confirmed two men, one aged 24 and the other of unknown age; and two women, aged 22 and 46, were injured in the incident.<\/p>\n

In a statement, a West Midlands Police spokesman said: \u201cWe were called to reports of a disorder in a shop on Alum Rock Road at around 5.40pm yesterday (21 July).<\/p>\n

\u201cA number of people were reported to have been fighting with weapons.<\/p>\n

\u201cThree people were treated in hospital for minor injuries and have been arrested.<\/p>\n

\u201cA fourth person remains in hospital with a fractured eye socket and is also under arrest.<\/p>\n

\u201cSearches continue at the scene today.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt this stage, we believe it to be an isolated incident, but investigations are continuing.<\/p>\n

\u201cOfficers are examining CCTV, and anyone with footage of the incident has been asked to contact police on 101.\u201d<\/p>\n
