BirminghamLive spoke to a student at Joseph Chamberlain College who said she felt worried about going back into college. "I wasn’t in college that day because of an interview," said the student, who wished to remain anonymous. "On the day I received a message from the college and heard from friends what had happened. "I was planning to go into college that evening, but thankfully got stuck in traffic and received the info before arriving. "I'm just worried going back to college now but I’ll still go back for education purposes. It won’t stop me. "My friends feel the same way as me. It does scare them thinking that stuff like that happen in an instant. Life’s too short honestly, and that incident kinda shows that." West Midlands Police Inspector Jim Mahon said the investigation team has already spoken to many witnesses but has urged anyone that videoed the disorder on their mobile phone to get in touch. He added: “We believe there could potentially be dozens of witnesses. Students were filing out of college and I’m hoping that some may well have caught what happened on a mobile phone. “Clearly that could be very important evidence and I would ask anyone who has such video footage to get in touch as soon as possible.”<doc-sep>
