A YOUTH worker who was stabbed 14 times has said he would work with his attackers.
Father-of-four Simon Somerville, from Walthamstow, was stabbed while taking his son and six other youths to an anti-knife event in Deptford.
The former amateur boxer, who used to coach young people at the KO gym in Hatherley Mews, Walthamstow, told the Evening Standard yesterday that he has no animosity towards his attackers and wants to continue his youth work – even working to help them.
