Man still in hospital a week after Wolverhampton weapon attack
Det Insp Adam Keen said, as the scene of the violence was "a busy road even at night", they wanted to hear from any witnesses, especially if they had phone footage from 23:50-00:15 BST that night."We'd like to thank those people who have already helped with our enquiries and would urge anyone who is yet to speak to us to get in touch," he added.

Trump orders federal law enforcement to patrol DC after Stephen Miller claims crime in capital ‘more violent than Baghdad'
President Donald Trump has reportedly ordered federal law enforcement officers to patrol Washington, D.C., as Stephen Miller claimed crime in the capital was 'more violent than Baghdad.' The White House announced that additional officers would be on the streets of D.C. from midnight in what would reportedly begin as a seven-day operation in a bid to clamp down on crime. 'It's our capital city, it is more violent than Baghdad, it is more violent than parts of Ethiopia and parts of many of the most dangerous places in the world,' White House deputy chief of staff Miller told NewsNation Thursday. Trump has been threatening to federalize the capital all week following an attack on a former Department of Government Efficiency staffer, Edward Coristine. Trump re-posted the bloodied photo of Coristine on Truth Social Thursday evening and addressed him directly in his post. 'Edward: The Crime situation in Washington, just like our Southern Border where ZERO Illegals entered in the last three months, will be a safe place very soon,' Trump wrote. 'Thank you for your bravery and heart. Stay tuned!' Additional support will come from the D.C. National Guard, FBI, U.S. Marshals, ICE, U.S. Secret Service and the Department of Homeland Security, according to CBS. 'Washington, DC is an amazing city, but it has been plagued by violent crime for far too long,' White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement Thursday. 'President Trump has directed an increased presence of federal law enforcement to protect innocent citizens. Starting tonight, there will be no safe harbor for violent criminals in D.C.' The crackdown in D.C. will reportedly focus on tourist areas and other busy hotspots. D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser approved the White House's request, received overnight Wednesday, to bolster the capital's law enforcement presence, according to CBS, citing an official in the mayor's office.

Met Police: You will never be able to travel to US or work in education again if you attend this weekend's Palestine Action protest
Palestine Action demonstrators may never be able to visit the US or work in education if they take part in this weekend's protest, the Met Police have warned. The force have said those in attendance risk being arrested under the Terrorism Act. It comes after three supporters of Palestine Action were the first to be charged under the Act, Scotland Yard has said. The group was proscribed as a terror organisation last month after an alleged attack on aircraft at RAF Brize Norton. Two women and a man, who were arrested at a demonstration on July 5 and later charged, are set to appear in court next month. Deputy Assistant Commissioner Ade Adelekan has warned participating at the protest could have serious consequences for the future. The Daily Telegraph reported he said: 'I would urge those people to consider the seriousness of being arrested under the Terrorism Act and the very real long term implications from - from travel, to employment, to finances, that such an arrest is likely to have for their future.' Being arrested for a terror offence - even if later cleared - could stop you from travelling to the US or working in education, lawyers have urged. Membership of, or support for, Palestine Action is a criminal offence punishable by up to 14 years in prison, under the Terrorism Act 2000. At least 500 activists are set to swarm the police this Saturday and join a demonstration at Parliament Square, in which they will hold signs saying 'I oppose genocide, I support Palestine Action '. It has fuelled fears of a 'mass arrest' event, with police and No 10 confirming this week that anyone who supported the newly proscribed terror group would be arrested. But Tim Crosland, co-founder of Defender Our Juries, which is organising this weekend's protest, said he was 'proud' of those who had signed up to show support for Palestine Action, calling them 'the moral backbone of this country'. He told Times Radio that arresting peaceful protesters was a waste of police time. Prison bosses have initiated emergency measures for a possible influx of arrested demonstrators this weekend amid concerns that some jails are close to full.
