Backward production of ω(1670) is observed in the reactions K?p→φ+φ?ω0Λ0 and K?p→φ+φ?φ0φ0 for |U'Λ|<1.0 GeV2. The cross section for the ω(1670) →φ+φ?ω0 decay mode is 1.90±0.35 μb for 8.25 GeV/c incident K?. Evidence is presented for the importance of the sequential decay, ω(1670) → Bφ → ωφφ with a branching ratio ω(1670) → Bφ/all ω(1670) → ωφφ=1.0±0.250.00.
