London teenagers are sewing up their own stab wounds with makeshift equipment to avoid facing questions from police, according to an investigation by a radio station.

Stefan Brown, a former gang member who now campaigns against knife crimes, told LBC that“dozens of times” he has seen teenagers as young as 14 patching each other up so they can head back out into the fray.
