Panic erupted on a London-bound train in Cambridgeshire on Saturday evening when multiple passengers were stabbed, leading to a significant emergency response. Two suspects were arrested following the incident, which occurred on a train traveling from Doncaster to London’s King’s Cross Station. British Transport Police confirmed that they were responding to reports of stabbings on the train heading to Huntingdon, where armed police quickly secured the area.

Witnesses described chaotic scenes inside the train, with passengers screaming and seeking safety as a man allegedly wielded a large knife. One witness recounted, "There was blood everywhere. People were hiding in the washrooms; others were trampled as panic spread." Another passenger reported seeing a man being tasered and restrained by police once the train stopped at Huntingdon station.

Emergency services transported several victims to hospitals, although the exact number of injuries remains unclear. Some reports suggest that as many as ten people may have been hurt. The train and surrounding area were declared a crime scene, with police cordoning off the station late into the night. Passengers were seen wrapped in emergency blankets as they were escorted away by officers.

London North Eastern Railway (LNER) suspended all services through Huntingdon, warning of major disruptions and advising passengers to avoid travel. UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer described the attack as "appalling" and expressed his sympathies to those affected, thanking emergency responders for their swift action. Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood confirmed the arrest of two suspects, while local officials condemned the incident as "horrendous."

The motive behind the attack remains unknown, and police have not disclosed the identities of the arrested individuals. Authorities are conducting an investigation and have increased patrols on major train routes to ensure public safety. This incident adds to growing concerns over knife crime in the UK, which has seen a steady rise in recent years.

As investigations continue, police have urged the public to avoid the area while they work to gather more information about the attack and its victims.
