"This is being treated as an isolated incident at the station involving two groups of people who we believe were not known to each other.

"Officers have been working with partners overnight to establish what happened. A cordon is still in place and we’re grateful for local people’s patience and understanding while this important work is completed.

The victims are said to be students at Royal Holloway University of London.

A spokesman for the university said: "We are aware of an incident at Egham train station last night in which three of our students were injured.

"Police have arrested a suspect and have confirmed there is no ongoing threat. Our teams supported the students involved last night and will continue to offer help.

"Out of respect for those involved and the ongoing investigation, it would be inappropriate to comment further at this time.

"Our Wellbeing teams are available to support any students should they have concerns, and we would urge people to follow Surrey Police and British Transport Police channels for further updates, as opposed to relying on unverified sources."
