UK Police Release 1 of 2 Men Arrested over Train Stabbings
Two British-born men were arrested after a knife attack on a train, leaving 11 hospitalized with four discharged, police said.
- On Saturday, the LNER service from Doncaster to London King's Cross stopped at Huntingdon station after a knife attack, and two men born in Britain were arrested.
- The assault is believed to have begun shortly after the service departed Peterborough station; British Transport Police declared a major incident and said counter-terrorism policing initially supported inquiries, with no evidence of terrorism.
- Armed police officers and paramedics boarded the train, arresting the suspects within eight minutes of the 999 call, with one reportedly tasered and 11 people treated in hospital.
- Huntingdon railway station remains taped off with all lines blocked and the A1307 closed, LNER warned of major disruption until Monday, and police say one man remains in custody while another was released.
- Specialist detectives are probing the suspect's background, and authorities urged witnesses to contact BTP by texting 61016 quoting reference 663 of 01/11/25, amid national praise from Prime Minister Keir Starmer and King Charles III.
