A VIOLENT knife attack happens every four minutes in Britain, new figures released tonight have revealed.
As it emerged that 130,000 incidents of being wounded or threatened with a knife took place last year, the Government was this evening again accused of failing to crack down on crime.
The shocking total does not include those blade incidences committed by under-16s.
And it means that more than 350 knife crimes are committed in England and Wales every day.
The figures from the British Crime Survey - which will deepen public concern about knife crime following a spate of violent murders - disclosed that more than 22,000 of those offences were serious.
There were 231 attempted murders, nearly 14,000 robberies and more than 8,000 woundings.
Nearly one in eight violent crimes involved school-age children and 52 per cent were committed by criminals aged 16 to 24.
Shadow home secretary Dominic Grieve said: "The fact that violent crime has risen by 80 per cent under Labour and the scale of knife crime on our streets, officially recorded for the first time, is a shocking indictment of Labour's failure to tackle crime and its causes.
"Our police have been tied up in so much red tape that they can only spend 14% of their time on the beat fighting crime." continues here

Note that the knife holder in the picture is a white man, whilst knife-crime is overwhelmingly a black crime, media spin or downright lying...
