Authorities believe the assault was entirely unprovoked and are seeking information from anyone who may have been in the area. Bus routes are currently being diverted via Moor Street, and the police cordon is anticipated to remain in place throughout the day.
West Midlands Police have requested that anyone with information contact them via 101.
