The money comes from the extra £100m of funding announced by policing minister Nick Hurd for the forces most affected by knife crime.

The bulk of the extra cash is going to seven forces which, between them, accounted for six out of 10 hospital admissions for patients assaulted with a sharp object over the past three years.

But South Yorkshire's Police and Crime Commissioner Alan Billings said: "We do not see anything like the situation that Londoners have to face."

Last week, bereaved parents and anti knife-crime campaigners shut down Westminster Bridge in protest at the government's response to violent crime.
