Thanks for the links.

What scares me is that over 1/3 of incidents were marked as "Investigation complete; no suspect identified".

And only 18% of attacks (156/833) resulted in a "Charged/Summoned" outcome.

Thanks, googled those top 3 trouble spots mentioned and they all seem to be in east london.
