The perils of carrying a knife were highlighted by students at Battersea Park School in their short film made with the help of local police.

The production, part of a series aimed at young people called Every Choice Matters, shows a frightening account of the consequences of knife crimes.

Produced in collaboration with Battersea police officers, it includes contributions from the mother and sister of Eugene Attram, who was stabbed in Mitcham.

The students premiered the film on Monday at the school in Battersea Park Road.

Headteacher Gale Keller said: “This hard-hitting production is one of several social inclusion films involving Battersea Park students.

“The theme has a strong anti-knife crime message.”
