I'm gonna need to see a picture of the alleged assailant before I believe all the pronouns in this article

She has been charged with attempted murder and possession of an offensive weapon in public.

Prosecutor Bunsri Bhuwa confirmed to the court that “the victim is a transgender female.”

The stabbing happened in Masons Avenue in Wealdstone, northwest London at roughly 7pm on Saturday.

The court heard the victim had arranged to attend a rollerskating party with friends at Harrow Leisure Centre that day.

It is said she sustained 14 stab wounds in the alleged attack and was rushed to hospital for treatment.

An offensive weapon? In public?

The fact that they didn't specify suggests it's probably something stupid. Like a fork, etc.

TPTB are eagerly waiting for trans-Floyd.

The law around weapons is quite complex but carrying any weapon, that isn’t considered a firearm (for which there are separate laws), falls under three laws:

The Offensive Weapons Act 1953.
Criminal Justice Act 1988.
The Offensive Weapons Act 2019.

They charge any one caught with a knife outside of the rules with an “possession of an offensive weapon in a public place” charge.

They actually need to prove in court that the item falls into the offensive weapon category.

It might not have been a knife, people get stabbed with screwdrivers, chisels, tent spikes etc. Screwdriver stabbing are particularly nasty.

I read a story about a bong policeman who was done up for "carrying an offensive weapon with no good reason" for the crime of carrying the pocket-knife his department gave him as a retirement present. It's knitting needles to swords, in that category
