zayyan was stabbed with a rambo knife. and emile in both legs with a flick knife. hospital, the doctor told me it was half an inch away from a main artery. and two centimetres on the other leg. but the 19—year—olds admit that, at times in the past, they had also carried knives. though, following the attack, they say it is something they would never do again. as i was younger, i used to carry a knife for two reasons — one to protect myself from other people, and another was to show off a little bit, you know what i mean? little arguments, you pull it out. what? you are talking about, like that. showing that you're better and badder than them. as a teenager, mojanneh was involved in gang culture and spent time injail. good to see you, brother. now he works in communities across south wales to stop others going the same way. so some of your mates, you know, who are holding knives, are they individuals who are inspired to achieve whatever they want to achieve? no, these people don't think that they can achieve anything. that is why they are out there doing this madness
