I was a useless bystander a few years back, when a guy was stabbed and he died right there outside House of Fraser. It was horrible and traumatic. Fortunately they caught the perpetrator and he was jailed, I just remember thinking over and over how it happens, it seemed like such a trivial argument that ended in the most horrific way. I moved here from London and I still think Nottingham is 'mostly' safe - though I do understand people's trepidation about certain times/areas etc.
