"A SENIOR police officer has blasted reports that he described gang warfare in Hackney as spiralling out of control. Supt Leroy Logan denied that he had labelled Hackney as one of the most dangerous boroughs in London, rife with US-style postcode killings by rival mobs, after an internal report he wrote in May was leaked to a national newspaper last weekend. "There's nothing in my report which says anything of that nature," he said. "We're doing extremely well in keeping these things in perspective. "The report, which focuses on Hackney, says that the borough is "suffering from the highest rates of increase of gun and knife crime in London".
