Looks like this was another terror attack in London. Armed officers run away from the attacker after he was shot dead because he had a device strapped to him. Im sick of this. Time to move out of London.#streatham pic.twitter.com/OHEcez3G7z — Mark (@markantro) February 2, 2020

The UK Office for National Statistics (ONS) reported last October that the number of knife and sharp instrument offences recorded by police in England and Wales in 2019 was on the rise, becoming the highest since 2011. More than 43,500 incidents were reported between March 2018 and March 2019.

Almost half of all offences involving knives or sharp objects were intentionally committed to cause serious harm and injury, fewer of them included cases of rape, sexual assault, attempted murder, and homicide, according to the report.
