A neighbour who witnessed a sword attack on a 14-year-old boy in London has told how she tried to warn the teenager, but he could not hear her because he was wearing headphones.

Aiste Dabasinskaite, Daniel Anjorin’s next-door neighbour, said the attacker had initially confronted her on Tuesday morning before attacking the boy.
