Three teenagers arrested after PCSO stabbed in Surrey
An investigation is underway after an off duty police community support officer was stabbed in Surrey.
The PCSO had left Elmbridge Police Station in Esher and was walking through Old Church Path when she was approached by a young man and stabbed in the arm at around 2.50pm on Tuesday (21 June).
She was taken to hospital with serious injuries.
The boy is described as White, aged 14-15 years old and of slim build. He was wearing black trousers and black footwear with a black hooded top and a surgical face mask.
He is believed to have fled the scene in the direction of Esher Park Avenue.
Two 15 year-old boys and a 14-year-old boy were arrested in Claygate a short time later on suspicion of attempted murder.
Detective Inspector Gareth Hicks, who is investigating the incident, said:
“We do not believe this to be a terror-related incident, but we do believe this was a targeted attack as the PCSO was wearing parts of her uniform at the time.
“We would like to speak to anyone who may have seen someone matching the suspect’s description or witnessed three young men on a moped in the areas of Esher and Claygate between 1.30 and 3.50pm this afternoon.
“I would urge anyone who may have witnessed something, no matter how insignificant, to contact us as soon as they are able.”
