Ten people were injured in a shocking stabbing incident on a train traveling from Doncaster to London King's Cross on Saturday night, leaving nine with life-threatening injuries and one with non-life-threatening wounds. Fortunately, no fatalities have been reported.
The attack occurred around 7:42 p.m. GMT when the train was stopped at Huntingdon station. Police were quickly notified, and emergency services were dispatched to the scene. The East of England Ambulance Service received multiple reports of the incident just one minute earlier and responded with numerous ambulances, tactical commanders, a hazardous response team, and even two helicopters to transport patients.
The British Transport Police has taken charge of the investigation, assisted by the U.K.'s Counter Terrorism Policing agency. While officials have been tight-lipped about the circumstances surrounding the attack, Transport Police Chief Superintendent Chris Casey emphasized that it's too early to speculate on the causes of the incident.
Two people were arrested at the scene, but no further information has been released regarding their connection to the attack. Prime Minister Keir Starmer condemned the violence as "appalling" and "deeply concerning," expressing his condolences to those affected and thanking emergency services for their response.
The London North Eastern Railway (LNER) has issued a "Do Not Travel" alert for the line, with train service disrupted and customers advised to defer their travel plans. Buses are being offered as an alternative between London and points north, including Huntingdon and Peterborough.
The investigation into the stabbing is ongoing, with police working to uncover the full circumstances and motivation behind the attack.

nine people got life threatening injuries one person is okay tho . the police are all over it but they cant say much yet bc they dont know why it happened . two people got arrested at the scene but nothin else has been said about them. prime minister keir starmer is saying its all super bad and thats all we can get for now 
anyway, i think schools should have better security systems in place to prevent stuff like this from happening 
And no fatalities?! That's not a good enough consolation prize 
. The police are still tight-lipped about it, which is just frustrating 
Can we get some answers already?!
