Three men from Birmingham charged with violent disorder after alleged attack in Doe Bank Park

Police have charged three men after a family were allegedly attacked at Doe Bank Park in Pheasey, Walsall.

An investigation was launched into the incident which saw two people sustain head and facial injuries shortly before 7pm on Sunday (28 May).

The men, aged 38, 39, and 58, and all from Birmingham, were charged with violent disorder and appeared at Wolverhampton Magistrates Court on Thursday.

A fourth man who was arrested was released without charge.

Chief Superintendent Phil Dolby, the local policing commander for Walsall, said: “As people have now been charged we are limited in what we can say as we don’t want to prejudice the case.

“We would also ask the public not to speculate about the incident as it could affect the outcome of the investigation and it’s important to get legal justice for the victims.

“We will be increasing our presence around Doe Bank Park and we are working with local partners and community leaders to ensure that people are kept updated and to offer reassurance.”
