Egham practice station stabbing with a number of injured after police swarm space

Multiple people have been injured following a stabbing at a UK train station last night (February 6). The incident saw police called to the scene at Egham train station in Surrey at around 9pm.

British Transport Police (BTP) have confirmed three males have suffered knife injuries in what they have called a “fight” at the station. Although four people in total have been treated for injuries as officers responded with paramedics.

A spokesperson for Royal Holloway University of London has confirmed that the three people injured are all their students.

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.

“Finally, I’d urge anyone who has information who can help us to come forward. 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 of London 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.”
