14-year-old Southport survivor says she's telling her story to counter 'false information'

A teenager who survived the Southport attack has told the BBC she wants to speak out to get "the truth out there".

The 14-year-old, whose identity is protected by a court order and who the BBC is calling Sarah, was left with life-threatening injuries when Axel Rudakubana attacked children at a Taylor Swift-themed dance and yoga workshop.

Interviewed alongside her parents, Sarah, who managed to guide several other children to safety, recalls how people were in a "blind panic".

Sarah said "false information" on social media was one of the reasons she wanted to tell her story and that in the future she would like to take part in anti-knife campaigns.
