Witness appeal made following robbery in Farnborough

We are investigating after a man suffered a serious injury in a robbery in Farnborough.

The incident took place in Queen Elizabeth Park, near the Cabrol Road car park entrance, sometime between 8.30pm and 9.30pm on Sunday 27 February.

The victim, a 33-year-old man, was approached by three men who demanded money from him.

They then assaulted him and during that assault the victim sustained a stab wound to the back. A mobile phone was stolen during the robbery.

The man left the park and drove home, but later attended hospital for treatment. His injury has been described as serious but not life-threatening.
