Woolwich police have found a huge samurai sword while on patrol.

Officer PC Jones was out and about yesterday (April 2) when he came across something you don't usually see.

PC Jones was walking along Long Walk when he came across a samurai sword.

The sword has now been taken back to the station where it will remain.

Earlier in March Woolwich police arrested two men after they were found in possession of a machete and a knife.
