A shocking university attack has left witnesses stunned after an alleged crossbow shooter reportedly taunted his injured victim in a disturbing incident at the University of Surrey.
The incident is said to have unfolded at Manor Park Student Village on the Guildford campus around 10am yesterday, prompting a rapid emergency response from police and paramedics. Authorities are now investigating the full circumstances surrounding the attack.
Eyewitnesses claim the suspect, believed to be a 21-year-old former student from Saudi Arabia, made chilling remarks as the injured security guard lay wounded on the ground. It has been alleged that he mocked the victim, accusing him of “crying like a baby” during the ordeal.
In another disturbing detail reported by those at the scene, the attacker is said to have uttered the words “let’s see the blood”, leaving bystanders horrified as the situation escalated. Incidents of extreme violence on university grounds are rare, but when they do occur, they often trigger major safety reviews and heightened security measures.
Emergency services rushed to the scene shortly after the alarm was raised, with footage reportedly showing the suspect being restrained by officers. A crossbow was also seen nearby as police secured the area and began investigations.
A heroic student is believed to have stepped in to assist the injured security guard, who is in his 50s, by applying pressure to his wounds before he was taken to hospital. He remains in hospital receiving treatment for serious injuries.
Police have not yet released further details, while investigations continue into the motive behind the attack and the events leading up to the confrontation.
