A MASKED teen taunts police with a zombie knife in a city hit by a wave of stabbings.
The Daily Star Sunday can reveal gangs are regularly arming themselves with blades in an "unprecedented" crime spree in Bristol.
In the six months from April 2023, Avon and Somerset officers made 294 arrests for knife possession. Police have now been granted stop and search powers on kids as young as 10 after the deaths of three teenagers.
The move follows the fatal stabbing of Darrian Williams, 16, on February 14, while Max Dixon, 16, and Mason Rist, 15, were knifed to death on January 27.
