Southport Stabbing Survivor's Plea: Safer Knives Now

Southport Stabbing Survivor Launches Campaign for Safer Knives A Southport, UK yoga instructor, Leanne Lucas, is recovering from a life-threatening stabbing that occurred in July 2024. In a recent interview with Sky News, Lucas detailed the attack, stating that "it was the tip of the knife" that caused the most severe injuries. The incident left her in critical care and spurred her to create a campaign called "Let's Be Blunt." The campaign advocates for the wider adoption of blunt-tipped knives to reduce the risk of similar incidents. "I never thought I'd be talking about things like this," Lucas shared, her voice filled with emotion. "But since what happened, I feel like I've just had my eyes opened to the dangers of how domestic tools can be weaponized." This initiative aims to raise awareness and promote safer kitchen practices in Southport and beyond. Lucas hopes her campaign will make a difference, preventing future tragedies and creating a safer community.
