Authorities in Britain detained two suspects after a knife attack aboard a passenger train wounded 10 travelers, with nine facing critical injuries. The assault unfolded on Saturday evening during a journey from Doncaster to King's Cross station in London, prompting an emergency stop at Huntingdon in Cambridgeshire. Armed officers used a Taser to subdue one man holding a blade on the platform around 7:40 p.m.
Passengers described chaotic scenes as a bloodied individual moved through standard-class cars, warning others about the danger. The violence lasted 10 to 15 minutes after the service departed Peterborough station. Witnesses reported seeing victims with severe wounds, with some travelers using clothing to stem bleeding. Emergency crews deployed more than 20 patrol vehicles and 10 ambulances to treat the injured before transporting them to medical facilities.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer called the episode appalling while urging citizens to follow official guidance. Counter-terrorism units joined the investigation though authorities have not identified a motive. Rail services faced major disruptions through the weekend, with operators advising against travel.
