Here's an article from the BBC, though does seem to be fairly new numbers, must be from all the Muslim immigrants after all.

going by monthly numbers doesn't paint the entire picture as you can see by the graph i posted which is also from BBC.
According to the newspaper, London overtook New York's "murder rate" in February "as the capital endured a dramatic surge in knife crime".
That is true. The New York Police Department dealt with 11 homicides in February - while London's Metropolitan Police opened investigations into 15 deaths. And in March, there were 22 killings in London and one fewer on the other side of the Atlantic.
But that grim month-by-month tally is not quite the whole story.
The one thing that's always true about statistics is that there will be blips - sudden rises or falls in the data. These two high months for London could ultimately turn out to be outliers.
We don't yet know. But older data shows why we should be cautious.
In January, for example, the Met investigated eight murders in London. The NYPD looked into 18 killings.
And that means that while Scotland Yard has opened 48 homicide inquiries so far this year, New York has in fact opened 50 murder files.
Looking at 2017, the homicide rate per 100,000 population stood at 1.2 in London and 3.4 in New York.
The rate of killings so far this year in London is higher than it was during the same period last year. The fatalities include five shootings and 31 stabbings.
Why the rate is going up in London, so far this year, is unclear. There's a push for police to stop and search more suspects for weapons after a big fall in the use of the power since 2010. But New York police have also reduced their use of similar powers over the same period - and their murder rate has fallen.
