BC calls on Canadian government to restrict machete sales in bid to curb street crime

British Columbia's attorney general is calling on the Canadian federal government to regulate and restrict the sale of machetes as a response to street crime.

The move follows a number of recent machete attacks on people and animals. Global's Angela Jung reports.
