Six-year-olds in UK carry knives as young arm themselves against fear, Met Chief told

London has seen a wave of knife attacks in recent weeks.

Children as young as six are carrying knives and 10-year-olds are arming themselves with weapons out of fear, the country's top police officer has been told.

London's Metropolitan Police Commissioner Cressida Dick heard children "feel naked" without them, while some are too scared to cross the capital's roads unarmed.
