Met officers on a plain clothes patrol in Kingston town centre arrested a man in possession of a hunting knife and drugs yesterday (Tuesday, 13 January).

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), the Met said: "Every knife seized prevents violence and has helped in reducing the city's homicide rate to its lowest ever level - much lower than many major global cities."

The service also shared a video of the arrest.
