Southport attack survivor calls for kitchen knives to be blunt tipped

Dance teacher Leanne Lucas launches campaign against traditional pointed knives that can be used as weapons

A dance teacher who survived a knife attack in Southport last summer has started a campaign calling for pointed kitchen knives to be replaced by ones with blunt tips.

Leanne Lucas, 36, was critically injured in the attack at the Taylor Swift-themed dance class she was leading during last year's school summer holidays.
