In light of the amount of knife crimes these days and the possibility of them being used in a terrorist attack, I thought I'd post this video, which has some great advice. Most people will know some of it but there may be tips you don't know. Forewarned is forearmed and hopefully none of us will ever be in such a position, but the information here may just save your life if you are.

 
All advice should be...

Run. Run as fast as you can. Screaming. Run.

That is mentioned constantly throughout the video if you watch it. It is the first thing that is taught in every single safety and self respecting martial arts class in the country. Extracting yourself from danger as quickly as possible and by awareness avoiding one in the first place. The video is if you can't run, or only can run so far due to being in a confined space, like on a train.
 
To be fair that video has some decent enough tips in there. Using bags or coats etc. when you start to get to the hand to hand side of it odds are, unless you practice this a lot, you will forget in the panic. especially the arms crossed thing. flipping between inside arms being protected would need practice I reckon. but good food for thought.
