Overview
- A member of the University of Surrey campus safety team was shot with a crossbow at Manor Park Student Village and taken to hospital after an incident on Thursday.
- Police detained a 21‑year‑old former student at the scene and charged him with attempted murder plus weapons and Class B drugs offences before remanding him to appear at court.
- Surrey Police say the injured officer moved from a serious condition to stable in hospital and that his next of kin are being supported by officers.
- Officers have appealed for witnesses and forensic information as they lead the ongoing probe, and they say they are not seeking anyone else in connection with the attack.
- Crossbow attacks on UK campuses are rare and the university is cooperating with police while keeping the campus open and offering support to students and staff as enquiries continue.
