01:07 - Freeze!

01:27 - Nigel Williams, come to the front door, do it now!
01:30 - Nigel, walk down the stairs now!
01:32 - Let's leave him alone.
01:33 - Nigel, please, let's leave him alone.
01:34 - Nigel, walk, walk towards me!
01:37 Keep walking, keep walking!
01:42 - What's your ID?
01:43 What's your ID?
01:44 What's your name?
01:45 Nigel, you got any weapons on you?
01:49 - No.
01:50 - CCTV just shows the savagery of this attack.
01:59 This has been a painstaking investigation.
02:01 A lot of CCT that we've seen today
02:03 was footage from members of the public
02:04 and using forensic techniques as well,
02:06 was able to identify those individuals who were responsible.
02:10 I can understand that anyone seeing that footage today
02:13 will naturally be alarmed,
02:15 and I want to make it clear that
02:17 tackling people carrying knives and serious youth violence
02:20 is a priority for West Midlands Police.
02:22 We have a dedicated task force, Project Guardian,
02:26 whose sole job it is to target this type of crime.
02:30 The patrolling in areas of knife crime is seen as prevalent.
02:33 We recognise we can't do this alone.
02:35 It's not just the police's job.
02:36 It's the roles of parents, of schools, of community groups.
02:40 We have an initiative,
02:41 the Community Initiative for Reducing Violence,
02:43 again, which is there to deter people from carrying knives,
02:47 shows the consequences.
02:49 Sadly, today's shows a consequence of carrying knives
02:52 and helps young people go on a different pathway.
02:55 - My brother's world, we brought back his family.
02:57 He was the alpha and the omega.
02:59 Everything was about the family.
03:02 But what all just hollowed out is really, really devastating
03:08 to the point now I can't explain.
03:10 There's not enough--
03:11 I don't have the words, I don't have enough adjectives
03:15 to actually fully describe how we feel.
03:17 With my family, we have to go to a grave--
03:20 a grave to visit my brother.
03:22 If you make a choice to carry a knife,
03:25 if you make a choice to associate with people
03:27 that go around regularly with knives,
03:29 you've made a choice, you've made a decision.
03:31 Every single time, it's your choice.
