More than 200 life-saving anti-stab kits have been placed at bars, schools and shops across the West Midlands in honour of a 26-year-old who was knifed to death outside a pub.
The kits, which contain bandages, tourniquets and gloves, have been placed in easy to reach locations so that members of the public can stem catastrophic bleeding before paramedics arrive on scene.
There are 227 of the packs issued across Wolverhampton, Sandwell, Dudley, Birmingham, Walsall, Solihull and Coventry, which have been funded by West Midlands police and crime commissioner David Jamieson.
Their arrival comes after intense campaigning from mother Lynne Baird, who set up the Daniel Baird Foundation in memory of her 26-year-old son after he was stabbed to death outside the The Forge Tavern in Digbeth, Birmingham, in 2017.
