feel sorry for that delivery driver... can see the pain in his eyes

What kind of rat robs someone in a wheelchair?

i dont think its ok to stick camares in someons face after being robed

Americans: "The UK's so posh" The UK:

poor man just doing an honest days work and he gets robbed ,I feel for him

Poor guy lost his bike and his job thats just sad tbh

I really feel bad for the guy that lost his bike it’s horrible what people do

The pain in the man's eyes is unbearable

I got mugged on a bus, upper deck. None of them wore any face masks, you can see there faces so easily. Went to the police station after, waited 45 minutes, and still, nothing. The police only take action if there's death or injury

"Why do you carry a 15 inch knife" "Cause it's big" Outstanding responce 😂

"Every fourteen minutes, someone gets ran down on and chinged. We now speak to Daniel here who's had three of his homies dipped by the opps."

UK : Unlike America, we don't allow guns to prevent crime. Human nature : You sure?

Bless the scooter guy,i genuinly wish him the best its so so sad

I hope that guy that got his bike stolen is still employed and has enough money to survive!🙏🙏

Not having the fundamental human right of self defense must be terrifying.

This is scary I just feel really bad for that delivery guy he did noting to deserve this 💔🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️😔

Poor guy is trying to earn honest living and those criminal steal it, perhaps taking away his source of income 😠😠😠

I felt like crying when the man has his bike stole off him . Imagine what he went through 💔

Going around robbing people in their own communities a working man just trying to make a living for his family traumatised my heart goes out to him and all the victims of knife crime I've actually been a victim of knife crime myself the anger and resentment you have for these people can spill over it has a life lasting effect where you feel like killing someone the people who stabbed me were hiding in the shadows knowing I was looking to do some serious damage that's how it starts an Innocent person can turn into a killer overnight and show no mercy and the Police don't do f*** all it's dog eat dog I wouldn't hesitate to open someone up after the trauma of being through the hate and the anger remains you just never forget you are scared for life

I feel bad for the person who was in the wheelchair

this the london version of chicago but with knives

I left Tottenham 3 months ago and I have to say if the documentary doesn't scare you, it should. I lived a two minute walk away from Seven Sisters station and I can't think of a single day I didn't see mopeds mounting pavements or kids peddling drugs openly in the street. These teenagers have no fear of retribution. The police are overwhelmed by cuts and this problem is only going to get worse until more powers and resources are given to those fighting it. Massive thanks to this man for interviewing these kids and trying to spread awareness

Bro I don't even want to go outside anymore like I'm legit scared

It's so awful that this is happening but I'm glad that schools and news stations are starting to teach about knife crime more and educate people on the dangers of it like how often it happens etc

buy a cheap moped, park up, rig it, wait for a thief, watch the fireworks

I genuinely do not understand, how one can insert a knife into someone‘s body. How much evil has to be in you to carry out such a gruesome act? This is just crazy

Fun fact, in Poland all knives are legal (not the hidden one, like key knife etc.) and knife crimes are really rare.

Respect to the man doing the hard work of protecting the youth by taking away the blades from confused

OMG I feel bad for the guy who was robbed off his bike.

So the BBC witness a robbery instead of helping the man who or calling the police it's best to interview someone who is in shock and lost all his money smh

Matthew 26, 26:52 Crime doesn’t make you a hard man

Man pulls out a 15555555 inch sword "Its For Protection Innit"

If you ban knives you'll get cases of teenagers scooping each others eyes out with spoons next

What can you expect from a country/city, where the police is more worried about islamophobic comments on social media rather then patrolling the streets.

This is why people stereotype I’m not saying it’s right

1:10 Poor man, you can tell it's happened before to him

I almost had my delivery guy get robbed at knife point literally outside my front door once.

I feel so bad for that man.

Feel so sad for that man

And yesterday another teenager murdered by a knife in London.

Jack, the ripper, was born before his time...

I felt so bad for that guy omg. Honest guy trying to make a honest living

This is heartbreaking

I feel so bad for this lad if I was their I would help him with everything that he needs

Girls would be going university studying Laws meanwhile they will be dating roadmans 🤣

soft law , that's why crime rates keep going up. .

Almost like I should be legally allowed to carry a gun.

anyone who robs someone in a wheelchair is just pathetic... how little of a life do you have to have to rob someone who can't even fight back

How can the police catch criminals on scooters, if they are not allowed to pursue them?

INCREASE SENTENCE FOR KNIFE CRIME SAME AS GUNS, WATCH HOW IT WILL REDUCE

I remember when I was 10, I was in the English Tuition in Central London and apparently there was a knife stabbing across the street from us which was really scary.

"Oi I think that guy's bike is getting stolen" "GET THE CAMERAS READY"

I feel for that first guy. Honestly I do.

''Teenagers'' is the go to word when reporters don't like to say the obvious. Same in America - it's always the ''teens''.

This is why I only go to the PUBLIC areas in London… it’s scary this is happening in our country 😥😣

Imagine just trying to earn an honest living, then getting by shanked some roadmen

You know what our friend Sadiq says. 'It's all part and parcel of living in a big city'

Reporter:Why do u carry a 15 inch knife Kid:cus it’s big

*Americans watching this with guns strapped to their hip: interesting.......

Me in london watching this while litterally hearing police in the distance:😬

Inshallah my brother at the start got his life going again. His situation made me cry

I live in East London. I witnessed a two robberys in a park. And my friends were chased by people, I was home at that night. Luckily nobody got hurt or mugged.

So the UK is not entirely safe after all 😢

Is the first man okay ? I feel sooo bad for him

Knife crime up 34% in a year 🤯

how is it all smart phones you can now track by GPS but cars and motorbikes don't have his feature. Or what about an automatic 30 second kill switch so it lets the criminal drive away from you to provide separation distance but they will have to abandon it when the engine cuts off in the middle of the street. BTW, Police in the UK are a laughing stock.

People that carry knifes think they are so hard

Those zombie knifes are scary looking

This is why I hate going to London

Notice how these problems come from low income boroughs in London.

All big cities in the UK are rough, I grew up in Manchester and lived near and went to school in Moss side in the 90’s. Although, this is a notorious place there are much worse areas here. All of my friends have been mugged multiple times as teens and me too as a teen 5 times and I am not a weak guy. I once had a group of masked guys pull up to me in a car when I was 12 and put a gun to me out the window and made me empty my pockets and jump up and down to see if there was any extra change. It was very humiliating and I have to be honest I was close to tears but one of the “kinder” guys in the car said “ nah, leave him man he’s just a kid innit” and they all sped off. The UK inner cities are some of the most dangerous in Europe and I have lived in Rio/Sao Paolo Brazil, Bangkok, Thailand as a teacher and Bronx, NY as part of my uni work placement, and have travelled all over the world so I have a basis for comparison. I even worked with a Brazilian colleague who said “ I fear nothing here, I grew up in Brazil” and he later got knocked of his bike robbed and beaten up and quickly changed his tune. As a normal person you are unlikely to get stabbed/shot unless you are in a gang but being mugged can most definitely happen depending on how you look and where you are.

the last guy had the same voice as lucii lmao

Thai is why the Cops in London should carry guns..

Well rip me I live in Tottenham.

DIVERSITY is the problem not our strength.

I saw this today and thought that it’s really dangerous in places like london but I live in Northamptonshire and my brother Got attacked tonight and he managed to Get the away it’s so scary to know this could happen to you everyone please stay safe I’m going to purchase some protection as I’m only a 14 year old

Good to at least see people like that man to help against crime.

2:39 He's black. Literally!

1:42 The guy is probably thinking "I just got robbed and you wanna interview me? Can't you see im stressed out"

I went to London in December of last year and almost got mugged in Swiss Cottage by a bunch of children. We were five guys and they were 7, we was in a parkin lot garage and on of them kids scooped us out. Soon as they saw us they came straight to us , one of them had his hand in his fanny pack, basically he was either bluffing or he rlly had a knife. fortunately my friend defused the situation. i ended up not liking london, and i plan on never coming back. 😟

Just wanna say, I really hope uk government can do something so that this country can be a safer place. I’m from China, study and living in north England. love this country, beautiful cities, nice people. But I never feel safe when I walk home at night. And international students lost their lives in here everyday year. So disappointing.

I've returned to this country after 25 years in Israel and Egypt. I've seen my share of bombs but in all those years zero street violence in this form. It's so so sad what has been allowed to happen to this country.

Who's here after the 13 year old boy boy Olly got stabbed?

Meanwhile the coppers are busy dealing with a REAL crime: arresting someone for posting an offensive meme.

My heart stop for the poor guy just doing his job 💔

0:20 that dude straight up had a joint in his ear in front of police officers...

That’s crazy how they just stick a whole damn machete down their pants

This is why never live at London but go there as a tourist. I live about 30(ish) miles away from London and I go there at least once a year, mostly for trainspotting.

‘This year in London 21 people have been stabbed’ (2017) now it’s 2018 and so far over 50 people have been stabbed or shot. And we haven’t even gone half way through the year yet🤦🏾‍♀️

Thank you BBC for focusing on real issues.

Guys does anyone know where we can find Paul's channel

And another worst thing is that this is coming into The Netherlands too now... I live in The Netherlands and there has been 3 knife incidents at where I live in only 2 weeks...

I'm seeing a trend here Something about the people involved I just cant quite place my finger on it...

London truly becoming a hell hole no place is safe.

Been doing some research and never realised till recently how bad the knife crime in the UK is. Hectic!

Maybe London should borrow a squad of Oakland CA Cops for a month or two....am sure the crime/people doing the crime would reduce a little.

Wake up Britain don't you see these criminals are mocking us?, don't you see that they recognise they can do whatever they like to anyone they like without the fear of them defending themselves?, don't you see that the police can't respond in time to an incident like this to catch the perpetrator's? the only way we can stop this is by allowing responsible civilians to own and carry the arms they require to defend themselves. and don't think "that would never work, then criminals would just get their hands on guns", they already have got their hands on guns, and the person that should know that better than anyone else is Ross Kemp Look at America, not at the mass shootings look at the 2 million defensive uses of firearms every year (that's an FBI statistic, if you don't believe me look it up) I live in a dangerous part of the UK (some would even call it a war zone) the closest police station to me would take about 14 minutes to respond to a home invasion the town i live in is mainly populated by elderly people (the perfect target for robbery as they have a pension and are quite weak) If someone does break into my home i'm going to do whatever i can to defend myself and my family the only problem is that i know if i do i will likely go to jail for the next few decades of my life at the least. Please if you only take one thing away from this today make it this, Would i be able to defend my life and my family's life if it was threatened? if your answer was yes, you need a reality check if your answer was no, you should think about how you could but ill tell how you could, you could demand that we responsible British citizens deserve the right to defend ourselves from attackers, and require the right to bear the tools to do so.

When the rival sees ur 15inch knife :oh my god its soooo big

I think If a adult or teenager have Sharpe knife or threatening these knives must be punished at least 3 years in jail but there is no strict rule for teenager unless they murder someone .

You see that guy that got his bike stolen that was standing on the pavement *he will be sleeping,eating, and living there*
