A police appeal has been launched following the death of a woman at Birmingham New Street.

Officers were called to the station on the 19th November 2024 just after 11am to reports of a woman being assaulted.

The woman was in her 80s and sustained a fractured thigh bone and several rib injuries but sadly died on the 27th December 2024.

Her death is believed to be linked to the incident.

Officers want to speak with a man who witnessed the incident. He is described as a tall white man in his early 30’s, with a short goatee style beard.

A woman in her 20s was arrested on suspicion of GBH and has since been arrested on suspicion of manslaughter and released on conditional bail pending further enquiries.

“We urge the witness to this incident to come forward, we believe he has vital information that will assist this investigation.

“The man, or anyone else who may have witnessed what happened, is urged to contact us by texting 61016 or by calling 0800 40 50 40, quoting reference 243 of 19 November 2024”

DI Ian Wright from Birmingham CID
