Mum hopes images of Dagenham teen will help stop knife crime

Dagenham teenager Tyler Dawson had his right leg amputated after he was stabbed in the groin while out walking in east London on 23 June last year.

The 18-year-old's mum, Kerry Dawson, has released harrowing images of Tyler's time in hospital where he nearly died four times.

Kerry hopes the pictures will warn others about the devastating consequences of knife crime.
