New measures issued to tackle stabbings, killings in London

LONDON - A ban on the sale of the most dangerous corrosive products to under-18s and tough restrictions on online sales of knives were announced on Sunday by the Home Office, Britain's interior ministry.

The move came as politicians and senior police officials grapple with a wave of stabbings and killings in London, which so far this year have left more than 50 people dead.

In the latest incident, police in London arrested a woman on suspicion of attempted murder on Saturday night after a man was stabbed outside Highbury and Islington station in north London.
