Residents were left “worried” and “shocked” after two houses were cordoned off by police in Terriers today, following an alleged attack on a woman.
Officers were called to Wellesbourne Gardens, near Kingshill Road, at about 12.30pm and have since said a female was taken to hospital with injuries which are not thought to be life-threatening.

Specific details of the incident could not yet be confirmed by Thames Valley Police, but people from the area said there was a large police presence in the neighbourhood this afternoon while an air ambulance also landed in a nearby field.
Marcia Duthie, of Wellesbourne Gardens, said: “I had only just got back home and all of a sudden there was a whole load of police cars and ambulances outside, which obviously worried me.
"I asked the police what had happened and they said there had been an incident and I should go inside my house.
“So I did, but only for about 30 seconds, and when I went out and all my neighbours were out too trying to find out what happened.”
Another resident of Wellesbourne Gardens, Dawn Atkinson, said: “I have been here for about four years and we have never had any problems, it has always been quite quiet.
“It’s all such a shock, there was a lot of police here and I think everyone was concerned when we saw the air ambulance.”
Police have arrested a man in connection with the incident.
