A survivor of the Southport knife attack is calling for the use of blunt-tipped knives in home kitchens, in a campaign she says is “for the girls”.

In one of her first television interviews since the July 2024 attack, Leanne Lucas, 36, tells Sky News it was the “tip of the knife” that caused injuries that led to her “nearly dying”.

“I never, ever thought I’d be talking about things like this,” Ms Lucas tells Sky’s Katerina Vittozzi, “but since what happened in July, I really can’t sit still and not say how I feel”.
