Witness appeal following stabbing in Woking

We are appealing for witnesses following a serious assault in Woking last night (21 July) where a man was stabbed in the head.

Officers were called to Omega Road in Woking by multiple members of the public at around 10:45 pm following reports of a stabbing. The victim was located at hospital shortly afterwards with stab wounds behind the ear. His injuries are not deemed to be life-threatening.

A 21 year-old man from Woking and an 18 year-old man from Guildford have been arrested of grievous bodily harm with intent, in connection with this investigation. They remain in custody.

We are appealing to anyone who may have witnessed anything or have any CCTV footage from the area around that time to get in touch. 

Detective Inspector Felicity Burns said “We understand that this incident is extremely concerning for local residents and we would like to thank those who have come forward with information already.

“Violent and threatening behaviour will never be tolerated in Surrey and we are doing everything possible to hold those responsible to account.

“We are appealing to anyone who has any information to get in touch and assist us with this investigation.”
