Paramedic's stark knife crime warning after seeing 'devastation' it causes first-hand

Shaun Robson, who works at the North East Ambulance Service, has spoke of the brutal reality of knife crime as part of ChronicleLive's Stop Knives Taking Lives campaign.

This comes after the tragic deaths of three teenagers - Holly Newton, Gordon Gault and Tomasz Olesczak - in recent months.
