Run! UK community leader's advice for handling knife attack goes viral

  • 6 years ago
A British community leader's video explaining what young people should do in the event of someone pulling a knife has gone viral.

In the clip, which was filmed on Monday, Londoner Garvin Snell, 37, demonstrates with his son his technique for dealing with a knife attacker.

Snell picks up a knife and his son immediately sprints away and jumps over a garden fence.

"There's no shame in running away," says Snell.

"If someone pulls a knife on you, get the hell out of there," he adds.

"I really hope this video can save lives because too many young people are being killed for no reason," Snell wrote online.
