Three men hospitalised with knife injuries after fight at Surrey train station

"Three men have been taken to hospital with knife injuries after a fight at Surrey's Egham railway station, British Transport Police have said. Friday's brawl, which the force described as an incredibly serious incident, left two 20-year-old men with stab injuries and a 22 year-old man with a slash injury to his face while an 18-year-old victim was also assaulted. BTP, paramedics and Surrey Police went to the scene after officers were called at around 9pm to reports of a number of people with knife injuries. None of those injured are in a life-threatening or life-changing condition, BTP stated."

"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. A cordon was in place on Saturday morning as police continue their investigations."

"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. Anyone with information that could help police should text BTP on 61016, or call 0800 40 50 40, using the reference 682 of February 6. They can also anonymously contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111."
