A fatal bus stop stabbing in Birmingham has reignited fears about knife crime and public safety in Britain, as new figures show the number of blade-related offences continuing to climb across England and Wales.
Katie Fox, 34, was attacked without warning on Friday evening while waiting for a bus on Smallbrook Queensway, just outside the Bullring shopping centre. She later died from a stab wound to the neck, in what police described as an 'unprovoked' and 'abhorrent' assault.
