Crawley Man Arrested After Stabbing In Horsham Park

A man from Crawley has been arrested after a stabbing in Horsham on Tuesday (March 30).

Police said the 19-year-old victim suffered a stab injury after an altercation in Horsham Park, near to the Pavilions car park, at around 8.45pm.

His injury is thought to be serious, but not life-threatening.

A 21-year-old man from Crawley was swiftly arrested on suspicion of wounding with intent and remains in custody for questioning.

Chief Inspector Sarah Leadbeatter said:

"This is being treated as an isolated incident and we work closely with partners including Horsham District Council to tackle and prevent youth-related violence. 

"We understand the impact events such as these have on local communities. Officers regularly carry out proactive patrols in Horsham Park and the surrounding area, and residents can expect to see an increased high-visibility police presence in the coming days.

"The park was still relatively busy at this time of the evening. Our officers have already spoken to a number of witnesses and are appealing to anyone who saw what happened to make the right call and come forwards."

Anyone with information should contact 101, quoting Operation Patio.
