Midlands Air Ambulance landed in Honeywell Primary School's playing fields in Tudor Way with teachers quick to reassure parents the incident did not involve any of its pupils.
An eyewitness walking past the scene said: “I just saw loads of police, and they are in hazmat suits and undercover police looking around windows.”
People living nearby said they were alerted to the incident after hearing a helicopter hovering overhead.
Officers in hazmat suits could be seen going in and out of a house in Drake Avenue while uniformed officers were also in the street.
A West Midlands Ambulance spokesperson said: "We were called to reports of a stabbing in Dines Green this morning at just after 8.00am.
"Two ambulances, a paramedic officer and the Midlands Air Ambulance from Strensham attended the scene.
"One man was treated for serious injuries before being taken by ambulance to hospital on blue lights.

"A second man was assessed before being discharged at the scene."
An eyewitness who saw the air ambulance at Honeywell Primary School said: “Everyone was worried it was a school pupil, so the school had to put a letter out to all pupils that the air ambulance was just using the field to land.”
A spokesperson for Honeywell Primary School added: "We are pleased to assist Midlands Air Ambulance in an incident in Dines Green and help our local community."
At 10.40am, one police van and an officer in a hazmat suit were spotted walking in and out of the property. The house's curtains were drawn.
A West Mercia Police spokesperson said: "It is a domestic that resulted in a minor injury."
The final police vehicle left the scene, and the curtains were reopened just after 11am.
