Teen Knife Robber Jailed

0:00On May 1st, a 19-year-old named TJ Bullivan robbed a 13-year-old boy at a tram stop in Nottingham back in April, 2025. He flashed a handle of a knife tucked in his waistband, snatched the kid's phone and vape, then bolted. This week at Nottingham Crown Court, he got hit with three and a half years in youth custody after pleading guilty to robbery, two counts of carrying. A knife in public and holding a class B drug. Earlier that same day, Bullivan tried the same stunt on a young woman at another tram stop in Bassford. She spotted the knife handle and jumped on a tram to get away. When cops tracked him down right after the boy's robbery, he turned aggressive and threatening, but they nabbed him quick. That 13-year-old must have been scared out of his mind facing a knife like that, and street robberies like this leave deep scars on victims. Bullivan's no stranger to trouble. He's a repeat knife carrier who's all too ready to flash blades and steel. Turns out, he had a rap sheet from Derborshire too, including kicking a guy while he was down

1:02at Derby bus station on March 21st, 20, 25, plus threatening another dude with a knife at a skate park that day. He copped to assault, theft, and more knife charges there. Police are clear, this guy's pattern of threats and violence ends now with this sentence, hitting a strong signal against knife crime on the streets.
