Liveline · "People will describe other weapons...bicycle spokes, umbrella spokes..." · 2 Jun 2026 podcast

We don't often get to see the weapon because it might be disposed of at the scene, but sometimes we might get an account on bystanders or paramedics.

But people will describe other weapons being used, like a Stanley blade.

We commonly see bicycle spokes, umbrella spokes.

But

But domestic violence are probably the more common thing that we see.

There was a really interesting and a very vivid campaign which was run in the UK again and the video is available on YouTube if anybody wants to check it out.

And the whole premise behind this production, it starts off by asking these youths in London where is a safe place to stab somebody and it goes around the entire body asking lots and lots of young people and ultimately the end result for the

for the viewers and for those who partook was that there is nowhere that is safe to stab somebody and ultimately with the depth of your weapon you never know what injury what injuries you can inflict and we've seen time and time again where somebody's life could have been ended if that knife or that bladed weapon had advanced a mere matter of millimetres away from where it was so the margins are tiny But bicycle spokes is that a thing?

Yes, it is, yeah.

Yeah, bicycle spokes and umbrella spokes as well because, again, they're easy to carry.

They're probably hard to find if they're up your arm sleeve or such.

But they're also, from a clinical point of view, they're harder for us to find and it's quite a kind of malicious thing when people think about this.

But they think about areas that we as clinicians find difficult to manage.

So people who get stabbed maybe in the armpits and the groins and the buttock

just over or under a collarbone.

And if that injury wound is big with a machete or something big, yeah, that's something that we can kind of get in and pack and such.

But sometimes if you get something as small as a bicycle spoke, we will struggle to even find it unless you pay really, really close attention to it.

And it might be just this little trickle of air or a little bubble of air or a little bubble of blood that you can see.

But that's an intentional thing to try and I suppose to try and catch clinicians out.

Yeah.
