Boy, 14, killed in Hainault sword attack is named as Daniel Anjorin

The 14-year-old killed in the London sword attack was today named as Daniel Anjorin - the youngest of three children from a respected churchgoing Nigerian family.

The chaos in Hainault saw a man armed with a sword go on the rampage, killing Daniel and injuring two other members of the public as well as two police officers. Ms Dabasinskaaite said she tried to warn the teenager, adding: 'My instinct was to shout and wave at him, which is what me and another neighbour did but because he had just his headphones on I don't think he heard either of us.

The West Midlands recorded the highest knife crime rate in England, with 180 offences per 100,000 people. It had chilling echoes of their daughter's murder 11 months ago – with both incidents seeing suspects go on a knife-wielding rampage and crash a van, before being tasered by police and arrested. 'It's something we've endured now for many months and I can tell you how distraught the family are feeling, is only felt by a few like us who have lost children in these absolutely appalling circumstances.'

MPs and senior police officers have called for her to posthumously be given the George Cross - the highest civilian award for acts of 'the greatest heroism or of the most courage in circumstances of extreme danger'. Terrified residents hid as the swordsman climbed over garden fences, before police managed to Taser and arrest him.

The words 'Suspect contained' are eventually heard as a female officer pulls the sword away from the attacker. He said: 'Within two seconds after that she's realised something isn't right, started running and he's pulled a samurai sword from the back of his trousers. Other footage showed the suspect being chased by police as an officer is heard shouting 'Lock your doors' when the sword-wielding man entered residential gardens.
