BRIERLEY Hill Police have arrested a teenaged boy after they found this knife at Merry Hill today (Wednesday May 5).
Police tweeted a picture of the blade which they found before subsequently arresting the 15-year-old just after midday at the shopping centre.
They said: "Officers have arrested a male today at the Merry Hill centre, having found this knife on him "for his own protection".
"This is unacceptable - it is well established that if you carry a knife, you are more likely to suffer a knife-related injury."
West Midlands Police confirmed the 15-year-old was arrested on suspicion of possession of a knife.
