Police arrest three men at gunpoint in Birmingham

This is the dramatic moment armed police arrested three men at gunpoint after swooping in on a vehicle which contained class A drugs and a knife.
Two police vehicles stopped a black Alpha Romeo after shooting its tyres and pointed their guns at those in the vehicle before arresting three men.
Video footage of the tense moment was captured by Mohammed Jehad, 23, who said eight armed officers were part of the operation in Edgbaston, Birmingham.
Officers then recovered class A drugs and a knife from the vehicle and the men were driven away in the police cars.
Mr Jehad, from Solihull, West Midlands, said: 'It was quite dramatic. I had just popped into Select Express to get a drink and when I came out saw four unmarked police vehicles and a marked police car which stopped a black Alfa Romeo.
'Armed police then got out of the vehicles and were pointing the guns at the car. There were about eight armed officers.
'Three men then got out of the vehicle and were arrested before being put in police cars. Officers were searching the car including the boot and then another car with detectives turned up.
'The road was blocked while the arrests were made and we weren't allowed to move. It was very dramatic.'
A West Midlands Police spokesman said :'Three men have been arrested after a car containing Class A drugs was stopped on the Hagley Road on Wednesday.
'Police stopped the car on the Hagley Road, close to the junction with Monument Road at 11.30pm.
'As part of the operation, vehicle tyre deflation rounds were discharged directly into vehicle tyres by trained firearms officers.
'A quantity of drugs and a knife were recovered from the car. Two men, aged 23 and 28 were arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply a controlled substance.
'A 22-year-old man was arrested for possession of a bladed article. All three are currently in police custody and will be interviewed by officers in due course. Enquiries are on-going.'
