Mother stabbed in street
21 April 2005
A young mother is fighting for her life after being stabbed in the neck as she pushed her two-year-old son in a buggy, police said today
The victim, a 26-year-old woman with brown shoulder-length hair, was walking along a quiet residential street in Little Bookham, Surrey, at about 4.15pm on Wednesday when the attack happened.
She was taken to St George's Hospital in Tooting, south London, where she remains in a critical condition, Surrey Police said.
Officers are appealing for help from the public in tracing the attacker, who is believed to be a white man.
But they do not have a confirmed description of him and no weapon has been recovered following the stabbing on Burnhams Road.
Detective Superintendent Adrian Harper, who is leading the investigation, said that the street is relatively secluded but that there may have been dog walkers around this area.
He added: "I would like to reassure the local community that this type of attack is extremely rare to this area and there have been no other similar incidents.
"We are committing considerable resources to this investigation and extra officers will be in patrol in the area during the day.
"We are determined to find the person responsible for this horrific incident."
The woman, who has not been named but is from the Bookham area, was wearing a multi-coloured striped top, brown corduroy trousers and grey moccasin shoes when she was attacked.
The buggy was a blue and silver-coloured "Graco" model with a blue hood, two front wheels and one rear wheel.
Anyone with information, particularly those who who may have been in the area of Burnhams Road and the adjoining road, Little Bookham Street, or walking in nearby Oaken Wood between 3.30pm and 5pm on Wednesday, is urged to call Surrey Police on 08451 252222.
