LONDON: Four Indian-origin men have been arrested and charged after an armed assault near Wolverhampton in England left three men wounded and a car splattered in blood. Motive not established yet.
Police said officers were called to Arbour Drive in Bilston just after 6am Friday following reports of a fight involving several people and bladed weapons. Six people have been arrested in total, with two bailed while inquiries continue. Three of the men charged were caught with the help of two police dogs.
Hardeep Singh, 28, of Hounslow; Harpeet Singh, 25, of Leicester; Mukesh Kumar, 30, of Wolverhampton; and Lakwinder Singh, 26, of Smethwick were remanded in custody Sunday to appear before Wolverhampton Magistrates Court Monday.
“A number of teams came together to make quick arrests. Our investigation is moving quickly as we establish exactly what happened,” said detective inspector Adam Keen of Wolverhampton police. “I would like to reassure the public that we do believe this to be a targeted attack.”
