Briefly

"Police were called at about 17:40hrs on Saturday, 7 September to reports of a man stabbed in Heston Park in Hounslow. Emergency services attended. The 21-year-old man was taken to hospital by the London Ambulance Service. His injuries have been assessed as not life threatening but potentially life-changing. A crime scene is in place. A knife has been recovered."
"Idris Elba, an anti-knife crime campaigner who starred in the Wire and Luther, was launching a coalition which aims to stop young people from being dragged into violent gangs. It is bringing together campaign groups, families of people who have lost their lives to knife crime, and young people who have been affected by it as well as Elba and Home Secretary Yvette Cooper."
"Elba said: We need to tackle the root causes of knife crime, not just the symptoms. The coalition is a positive step toward rehabilitating our communities from the inside out."
