Uxbridge, UK – A fundraising effort has raised £10,000 for the family of Wayne Broadhurst after the 49-year-old was tragically killed in a stabbing incident in Uxbridge. Broadhurst was one of three victims attacked in a shocking act of violence on Monday, 27 October.

The Metropolitan Police were called to Midhurst Gardens at around 5:00 p.m., where officers and the London Ambulance Service found three people injured from stab wounds. Despite emergency services’ best efforts, Broadhurst was pronounced dead at the scene. His next-of-kin have been informed and are being supported by specially-trained officers.

Local residents quickly came together in mourning. A vigil was held on Tuesday evening at Midhurst Gardens, where flowers were laid and candles lit in memory of Broadhurst.

The incident also left a 14-year-old boy and a 45-year-old man injured, with the older man reportedly sustaining “life-changing injuries.”

Police arrested a 22-year-old Afghan man at the scene on suspicion of murder and attempted murder. According to the Home Office, the suspect entered the UK clandestinely in a lorry in 2020 and was granted asylum in 2022. He was not living in Home Office-provided accommodation.

Witnesses described the terrifying events. One resident told the Daily Mail that Broadhurst was “very well known” in the area. They said the suspect chased Broadhurst and a young boy along the street, and when a local dog walker attempted to intervene, he too was stabbed multiple times.

Another neighbor described Broadhurst as “a lovely guy, very gentle and peaceful,” adding that he was simply doing his routine dog walk when the attack occurred. “He was just doing the normal dog walk that he does every day,” the neighbor said.

CCTV footage circulating online shows officers pursuing the suspect moments after the attack. Police eventually used a taser to subdue and arrest him. The suspect was taken to hospital as a precaution but was unharmed and is now in police custody.

Chief Superintendent Jill Horsfall called the attack “shocking and senseless,” emphasizing the heavy police presence in the area as detectives continue their investigation. She urged anyone with information to contact police on 101, quoting reference 5129/27OCT, or reach out anonymously to Crimestoppers at 0800 555 111.

The local community has been left reeling from the violence, with residents offering support to the victim’s family and calling for calm in the wake of the tragedy.
