Witness appeal following stabbing in Leatherhead

Last night (16 August) officers received a report that someone had been stabbed on Kingston Road in Leatherhead, near to the junction with Cleeve Road and the footpath leading to Leatherhead train station.

This occurred between 11pm and 11.15pm. The victim was taken to hospital with stab wounds to his hand and arm.

Officers cordoned off the area last night to conduct enquiries and this was taken down at 10.30am this morning.

Sergeant Elliott Hartley, of Mole Valley Specialist Neighbourhood Team, said: “I know that many local residents will have been concerned this morning after seeing the police scene on Kingston Road. We’re continuing to work hard to establish what happened last night and we’re asking anyone who was walking home from the train station around the time of the assault to please get in touch. The victim has been discharged from hospital and is recovering at home.”
