A MAN has pleaded guilty to stabbing three men.

Asad Khan, 19, of Pursers Court, Slough, pleaded guilty to stabbing three men on November 18, 2016. Shortly before 7pm, Khan attacked three men aged 19, 21, and 21 in Pursers Court.

Two of the men received stab wounds to the head and legs, while the third victim received severe stab injuries to their arms, leg, and torso. Khan was arrested the same day as his attack, and charged in August last year.

On Monday, Khan pleaded guilty at Reading Crown Court to three counts of grievous bodily harm, and one count of possession of a pointed/bladed article in a public place.

The investigating officer, Detective Constable Stuart Malham of Slough police station, said: "This was a horrific attack on three innocent members of the public who were just in the wrong place at the wrong time. The motive for the attack appears to be mistaken identity.

"The actions of Asad Khan demonstrate he is a violent and dangerous individual who will be sentenced in due course for his offences.

"I would like to thank the victims for their continued support and courage throughout the investigation. I hope they can now move on from this extremely traumatic incident."

Khan is to be sentenced on June 29 this year.
