British police on Monday said they had arrested a man on suspicion of murder after a series of stabbings in the early hours of Sunday morning in the city of Birmingham left one man dead and seven other people injured, two of them critically.

Detectives said the stabbings, which took place in four locations over two hours, were linked to each other but appeared to be random and not thought to be gang-related or connected to terrorism.
