In the UK, two people are fighting life-threatening injuries after a stabbing rampage on a train heading to London. At least nine people were hospitalised.
The 18.25 Doncaster to London Kings Cross train that had been due to arrive in the capital hours ago remains in Huntingdon.
Stopped in its tracks shortly after a frightening knife attack unfolded onboard.
When heading south, and near this market town station a few miles from Cambridge, police received reports of a stabbing attack as the passenger service left Peterborough, just over one hundred kilometres north of London.
Investigations continue with around half of those hospitalised discharged.
John Loveless, British transport police, said: "Armed police officers from Cambridgeshire Police boarded the tran and arrested two people. Within eight minutes, of the 99 call being made two men were brought into police custody where they remain this morning. I can tell you that these are: The first male is a 32-year-old male, a black British national and a 35-year-old man - a British national of Caribbean dissent."
Startled travellers contacted police immediately.
Armed officers arrived at Huntingdon station at around 7.40pm
A train passenger said: "What happened was, I was in coach G. And there was quite a few people coming through Coach G and one of the people that were coming through, I had my headphones on, then heard them say 'They've got a knife. I've been stabbed.' And then when looking up, so they were making their way through the carriage to get away from the incident from the suspects. They were extremely bloodied. That person ended up, when we pulled in, they were basically on the floor. We couldn't progress further down the train, away from the suspect, because that person ended up collapsing on the floor."
Dozens of Emergency service vehicles responded crowding the concourse of Huntingdon station, as injured victims were helped with the attack contained.
Other shocked passengers were evacuated on buses.
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer's "thoughts are with all those affected in the appalling incident."
Police say "Plato," the national code word used when responding to what could be a "terror attack," was initiated but later rescinded with no motive disclosed.
