LONDON: A teenage boy has died after being stabbed in southeast London, police in the British capital said on Monday, before a nationwide ban on “zombie” style weapons to reduce knife crime.
The Metropolitan Police said the boy was found injured after officers were called to a disturbance on a residential street in Woolwich at about 1735 GMT on Sunday. He died a short time later, a statement read.
No further details were released but the youth´s death comes with mounting concern about the numbers of offences involving knives and young people carrying them. A total of 50,510 offences involving knives were recorded by police in England and Wales in the 12 months to March -- up four percent on the previous year.
