A construction worker died after falling from Birmingham Children’s Hospital on July 10, prompting investigations by police and the Health and Safety Executive. The victim was working on a BSN Group Construction site at the hospital. Both the NHS trust and the company expressed condolences and confirmed cooperation with authorities. The incident occurred a day after a visit by Prince Harry, though the events were unrelated.

A 15-year-old boy sustained a neck injury after being attacked with a glass bottle in Great Barr, Birmingham, collapsing before being assisted by a nearby resident who applied pressure to the wound. Emergency services treated the victim for non-life-threatening injuries. Police arrested another 15-year-old on suspicion of violent disorder and are continuing their investigation, while bus routes were temporarily diverted due to the cordon.
