The capital is facing a fresh wave of knife crime, with several attacks reportedly occurring in the space of just days since the New Year began.
Recent data compiled by PA revealed 10 teenagers were killed in London last year, nine of whom were the victims of stabbing while one died in a shooting.
The Ben Kinsella Trust reveals that, up to June of last year, the Met Police recorded offences involving a knife or sharp instrument in London generally had risen by 16 per cent over the past year.
According to ONS figures, the amount of knife crime offences recorded in England and Wales has risen significantly since around 2013, reaching a peak in Covid before dropping slightly.
