The man taking knives off the streets

Available for over a year

Faron Paul has been a stabbing victim on two separate occasions. Since those incidents, he's become a campaigner who helps young people in London who want to escape knife crime. He uses social media to reach out to anyone who wants to get rid of their knives, machetes and swords. For this episode of 5 Minutes On, our correspondent Dan Johnson spoke to Faron, as the BBC obtained figures which suggested there's been an increase in the number of crimes involving knives, logged by police.
