United Kingdom, Nov 2: UK police arrested two suspects following a mass stabbing aboard a London-bound train which left at least ten people wounded. Of them, nine are said to be in critical condition.

According to reports, the attack occurred on a train travelling from Doncaster to London’s King’s Cross Station. The emergency was reported around 7:40 p.m. as the train approached Huntingdon Station in Cambridgeshire.

Armed police, supported by multiple emergency response units including ambulances and air support, swiftly intervened and halted the train at the station.

British Transport Police confirmed that “multiple people have been stabbed” and that “two people have been arrested” in connection with the incident.

Witnesses described scenes of chaos and fear, with passengers reportedly hiding in washrooms to escape the attackers. “Blood was everywhere,” one passenger told local media.

However, the motive behind the attack remains unclear.

Authorities have declared the incident a major emergency, and Counter Terrorism Policing is assisting with the investigation as a precautionary measure.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer condemned the attack as “appalling,” expressing solidarity with the victims and their families. “We must ensure the safety of our public transport systems and bring those responsible to justice,” he said in a statement.

The train route, a busy corridor connecting the northeast to the capital, was packed with weekend travellers at the time of the assault. Services on the line were temporarily suspended as forensic teams and investigators secured the scene.
