A routine railway journey in eastern England turned into a scene of panic and violence on Saturday evening when multiple passengers were stabbed aboard a train bound for London. The incident, which left nearly a dozen people injured, occurred as the train departed Peterborough, midway through its two-hour journey from Doncaster to King’s Cross station. Witnesses described a chaotic scene, with bloodied passengers rushing down the aisles to escape the violence. One passenger, Olly Foster, initially mistook the commotion for a Halloween prank until he noticed blood on his hand. “Everyone was really pushing behind us, really panicking,” Foster recounted. Emergency services responded swiftly, with British Transport Police receiving the first calls at 7:42 p.m. Within minutes, dozens of officers, including armed units, and paramedics arrived at Huntingdon station, where the train made an unscheduled stop. Two suspects, described as a 32-year-old Black man and a 35-year-old of Caribbean descent, were arrested within eight minutes of the initial emergency calls. Police used a Taser to subdue one suspect who was reportedly wielding a large knife. While ten victims were hospitalized, two remain in life-threatening condition. Authorities have ruled out terrorism as a motive, with the investigation led by British Transport Police. Senior politicians and royalty, including King Charles III and Queen Camilla, expressed their shock and sympathy for the victims and their families. The train remained at Huntingdon station as forensic teams continued their investigation.
