Desperate residents have told how their city center has become a crime hotspot, making people there unsafe at night.
The local population in West Bromwich opened up how their way along the Hoofdstraat on mobile scooters makes them vulnerable to attackers who tease the place.
The concern about the crime has been discussed about the central part of the city, which is close to Birmingham in the heart of the West Midlands – between West Bromwich's High Street and Carter's Green just west of Main Shopping Quarter.
Among those who describe problems about the location is Sean Chang, a former employee of the construction site in a wheelchair after health problems.
He suspected that his attacker did not come from West Bromwich himself, but one of the surrounding areas of the city such as Wednesday at three miles away in the black country.
Mr Chang, 51, revealed how a man he suspected to be a drug user, had tried to 'rob him' him despite driving on a mobility scooter.
The victim said: 'I can handle myself. Someone tried to encourage me. They ran here and caught up with their partner.
“They didn't come here from the neighborhood, I think they came from Wednesday. I was on my mobility scooter, I chased them. The police were called and that was resolved. '
