800 machete attacks a month spark law call

Long-bladed weapons, which the Government has pledged to ban later this year, have been used in a growing number of robberies, assaults, sex attacks and also in domestic violence.

But police forces, which compiled the statistics, have called for stricter rules to be brought in immediately.

It comes after Jordan Bazuna, 19, and Jack Bolton, 18, were jailed at Nottingham Crown Court on Thurs day after brandishing machetes in a fight in the city centre in January.
