Police said they were searching for a man in relation to a two-hour stabbing spree in the city of Birmingham, central England, early on Sunday, that left one man dead and seven people injured, two of them critically.

"We are treating all four of those incidents as a linked series," West Midlands Police Chief Superintendent Steve Graham said.

He said there was no suggestion that the attacks were targeted at any section of the community or were gang related. Britain's Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said he had no information to indicate the incidents were terrorism related but the public should stay"very vigilant".
