Three men stabbed in horror fight at UK train station

Police have issued a statement

British Transport Police (BTP) are investigating after three men suffered knife injuries after a fight at a railway station in Surrey.

Officers were called to the scene at Egham station at around 9pm on Friday 6 February after reports of multiple people with injuries.

Paramedics and officers from both the Transport Police and Surrey Police turned up to the scene to find four people injured.

Two 20-year-olds suffered stab injuries, while a third victim, aged 22, had a slash to the face.

A fourth victim, aged 18, had been assaulted.

None of the injuries were life-threatening, but all were taken to hospital.

Royal Holloway University confirmed that three of those injured are students at the university.

A man who is believed to be in his 30s has been arrested on suspicion of Grievous Bodily Harm (GBH). He is currently in police custody.

Police believe at least two other people made off from the scene.

BTP Detective Superintendent David Udomhiaye said: “We’re aware of concerns from the local community and, while this is of course an incredibly serious incident, I can confirm that thankfully no one has been fatally injured. This is being treated as an isolated incident at the station involving two groups of people who we believe were not known to each other.

“Officers have been working with partners overnight to establish what happened. A cordon is still in place and we’re grateful for local people’s patience and understanding while this important work is completed. We’re working with Network Rail partners to try to keep disruption to a minimum."

Udomhiaye urged anyone with information to come forward and speak to police.

“There will be witnesses who have yet to speak to us, and I’d urge anyone in the area who might have dash or doorbell camera footage to make contact as quickly as possible. There will be an increased police presence in the area over the coming days and anyone with concerns or information can speak to those officers, or text us on 61016.”

A spokesperson for Royal Holloway University said: “We are aware of an incident at Egham train station last night in which three of our students were injured.

"Police have arrested a suspect and have confirmed there is no ongoing threat. Our teams supported the students involved last night and will continue to offer help.

“Out of respect for those involved and the ongoing investigation, it would be inappropriate to comment further at this time.

"Our Wellbeing teams are available to support any students should they have concerns, and we would urge people to follow Surrey Police and British Transport Police channels for further updates, as opposed to relying on unverified sources.”
