West Midlands Police Detective Inspector Caroline Corfield said: “This is a shocking incident which has left a young man seriously ill in hospital.
“We believe the same offenders attacked a group in Selly Hill Road earlier in the day.
“In that incident, offenders described as black men aged around 18 and wearing scarves across their faces demanded money before fleeing empty-handed.
“We have recovered a silver Nissan Micra with a large dent in the roof which we believe to have been involved in both incidents and I am appealing for anyone who saw the car yesterday, or who has dash cam footage which could assist our investigation to get in touch.”
Anyone with information is urged to call West Midlands Police on 999 or Live Chat via WMP Online until midnight quoting log number 700 from 7 October.
Alternatively, they can call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
