A young Londoner today said he was “glad” he was stabbed as it had given him the opportunity to warn others of the dangers of knife crime.
Amani Simpson was stabbed seven times when he intervened in a friend’s dispute over stolen goods that quickly escalated out of control and saw him confronted by a 20-strong gang.
Now a motivational speaker and community worker, he is aiming to crowdfund £15,000 to support making a short film telling his story as he seeks to divert teenagers away from crime.
