💨 Abstract

In Birmingham, a viral video captured a woman threatening an Asian man with a knife while uttering racial slurs. After an initial dispute, the man defended himself with a piece of cardboard, leading to a chase involving insults and attempted knife strikes in a residential area. A bystander intervened, and the footage sparked online condemnation of knife violence. Meanwhile, a similar incident in London featured a knife-wielding attacker in a park, prompting police involvement without identification of the perpetrator.
