A man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after a three-week-old boy died in Birmingham.
West Midlands police said they were called to Dovey Road in Sparkhill, in the south of the city, at 3.40am and found a baby who was not breathing and two women with injuries.
The baby was taken to hospital by paramedics and was pronounced dead a short time later. A 29-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of murder.
The force said a 26-year-old woman was taken to hospital for injuries not believed to be life-threatening and a second woman was taken to hospital to be treated for a head injury, and had since been discharged.
Detectives are not looking for anyone else in connection with the investigation.
Insp Neil Kirkpatrick, in charge of policing in the area, said: “This is a real tragedy and our thoughts go out to everyone involved. We’ll have extra officers in the area over the coming days to offer reassurance.”
Part of the terraced street was cordoned off with police tape, and neighbours told BirminghamLive they had been woken up by the sound of emergency services during the night.
