Residents fear for children's safety after stabbing

A man in his 20s was critically injured after being stabbed on Old Street early Saturday morning. Residents reported hearing screams during the attack, raising concerns for their children's safety. Four suspects were arrested shortly after the incident. Local businesses are affected by the police cordon, which has closed parts of Old Street. One pub employee expressed fear for the community's safety, noting this was the first violent incident in the area during his 13 years there. Recent data shows a rise in knife crime in London, despite a decrease in teenage deaths from stabbings last year. Various initiatives are underway to address the issue, including government campaigns and community support programs.
