A spike in violent crime in London saw more murders committed in the city in February and March than there were in New York, figures show.
So far in 2018, 46 people in London have been fatally stabbed, shot or injured compared to 50 in the US city.
But, while New York's rate month-on-month has decreased since January, London's is on the rise.
Ex-Met Police Ch Supt Leroy Logan says it is proof that "London's violent traits have become a virus".
"I cannot understand how things have gotten out of hand," he said.
"We have seen the virus of violence spreading. It is endemic in so many different parts of societies.
London murder rate overtakes New York's
