London Mayor Sadiq Khan has described knife crime as one of the biggest things to keep him up at night. <br /> <br />Speaking to the Fabian Society's new year conference in London as he prepares to fight for re-election in May, he said: "It is tragic. There is nothing that keeps me up at night more than knife crime. <br /> <br />"Literally a stone's throw from my house somebody was stabbed to death, so it is personal to me and also as the father of two teenage children." <br /> <br />However Mr Khan says he is "optimistic" that violent crime could be cut, adding: "All of us have a role to play in dealing with violent crime. It can affect - but for the grace of God - all of us." Report by Alibhaiz. Like us on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/itn and follow us on Twitter at http://twitter.com/itn
