London - A family visit to the dentist ended with a 12-year-old boy fighting for his life after shielding his younger brother from a knifeman, police said yesterday. A man was later seized by armed police in a raid on a terrace house and is currently being questioned by detectives at Charles Street police station, Leicester in connection with the incident in the city.
It has since emerged the man was discharged from a psychiatric hospital in December last year.
