A man has since been charged with the murder of Wayne Broadhurst\"WayneWayne Broadhurst, 49, was fatally stabbed to death in Uxbridge(Image: PA)<\/p>\n

A tribute has been shared for a Liverpool FC<\/a> fan who was walking his dog when he was stabbed to death in the street earlier this week<\/a>. Wayne Broadhurst was killed in Uxbridge on Monday, October 27, evening in the incident which also injured two people – one being a 14-year-old boy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Another man, who has not been named, was saved by his next door neighbours who ran into the street armed with baseball bats to fend off the attacker. The managing director of Greener Ealing Ltd, which provides environmental services to Ealing Council, said Mr Broadhurst was a “dedicated member of our team”.<\/p>\n

Katarina Pohancenikova said in the statement: “Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with Wayne\u2019s family, friends, and colleagues during this incredibly difficult time.<\/p>\n

“This is a devastating loss. Wayne was a well-respected and dedicated member of our team who made a real contribution to the work we do and to the residents we serve. We ask for the privacy of Wayne\u2019s loved ones to be respected as they come to terms with this appalling news.”<\/p>\n

Greener Ealing shared a photograph of the Liverpool supporter wearing the football club\u2019s hat, as well as the company\u2019s high-vis.<\/p>\n

Safi Dawood, 22, who lives on Midhurst Gardens where the attack took place has since been charged with the murder <\/a>of Mr Broadhurst, as well as two counts of attempted murder in relation to the incident in east London, the CPS announced on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Dawood was not known to Mr Broadhurst, who died at the scene, but was known to the other two alleged victims, the Metropolitan Police said. He entered the UK in a lorry in 2020 before claiming asylum, which was granted in 2022, the Home Office previously confirmed.<\/p>\n

Dawood was arrested at the scene but required hospital treatment after \u201csuffering a medical episode\u201d, police said.<\/p>\n

He was later returned to police custody where he remains, the force added. The 45-year-old survivor of the attack suffered life-changing injuries, but \u201cmaybe would have died\u201d had he not been protected by the group, a resident said.<\/p>\n

A woman who lives next to the scene in Midhurst Gardens said a teenage boy with blood on his shirt and hand knocked on the door of her family home asking for help at around 5pm.<\/p>\n

When her husband opened the door, four or five residents from a house opposite emerged with baseball bats to protect the injured man. Tahira Hassan told the PA news agency: \u201cThe injured person was sitting in front of their house.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey had bats. There were four or five people. They were protecting him, so they saved his life. They did a very good job.<\/p>\n

\u201cMaybe he would have died if they didn\u2019t protect him,\u201d the mother said. The 45-year-old victim has a wife, son and daughter, and lives in a house on Midhurst Gardens, Mrs Hassan, who is in her 40s, added.<\/p>\n

She said she thought his wife and daughter may have been out at the time. The teenager who knocked on their door had blood on his shirt and hand \u201cbut the older man was injured badly\u201d, she said.<\/p>\n

The residents, Mrs Hassan said, protected the man were approached for comment, but they did not wish to speak. A woman who lives in Midhurst Gardens, who did not want to be named, told PA she saw the incident out of her window after hearing screaming.<\/p>\n

The Met Police said: \u201cWe are aware of speculation on social media around this investigation and would remind media and the public not to share anything that could impede future court proceedings.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dawood will appear at Westminster Magistrates\u2019 Court today, October 30.<\/p>\n

Jaswant Narwal, chief Crown prosecutor for CPS London North, said: \u201cFollowing the shocking triple stabbing which took place in Uxbridge on Monday evening, the Crown Prosecution Service has today announced Safi Dawood, 22, has been charged with the murder of Wayne Broadhurst and the attempted murder of two others.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur prosecutors have worked to establish that there is sufficient evidence to bring the case to court and that it is in the public interest to pursue criminal proceedings.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have worked closely with the Metropolitan Police Service as they carried out their investigation.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A man has since been charged with the murder of Wayne BroadhurstWayne Broadhurst, 49, was fatally stabbed to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":537278,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8815],"tags":[748,188,393,4884,378,179,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-537277","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-liverpool","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-crime","10":"tag-england","11":"tag-great-britain","12":"tag-in-the-news","13":"tag-liverpool","14":"tag-uk","15":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115462366700270363","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/537277","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=537277"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/537277\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/537278"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=537277"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=537277"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=537277"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
