A “caring father” who was killed by a stabbing in Birmingham has been honoured by his devastated family.
Police reported that Andrew Gardner, 41, was near the city’s centre on Sunday.
Just after 7:15 p.m., Mr. Gardner was fatally stabbed in Birmingham.
Later that evening, he unfortunately passed away in the hospital.
West Midlands police announced the arrest today and said the suspect “will be questioned in due course”.
His family have paid tribute to him, describing him as a “caring, loving son, father, brother and uncle”.
They added: “His passing will leave a big hole in our lives, but he will be forever in our hearts.”
Later this week, a post-mortem is scheduled.
“Our condolences are very much with Andrew’s family as they come to grips with his death,” said Detective Inspector Michelle Thurgood.
“Our investigation has progressed swiftly and even though we have made an arrest, I still urge anyone with information to come forward.”
