The 27ft-tall Knife Angel is made from about 100,000 bladed weapons collected by police.
A statue made from 100,000 knives has been unveiled in Bradford to mark the beginning of an anti-violence campaign.
Alfie Bradley, who created the sculpture, said: "30% of the knives that are on the Angel were bloodied when we received them - they all had to be sterilised." The unveiling, which coincided with the Bradford Youth Justice Service commencing its anti-violence awareness month, was also attended by the region's mayor, Tracy Brabin.
