10 Injured in LNER Huntingdon Train Stabbings

Multiple people were stabbed on an LNER service from Doncaster to London King’s Cross on Saturday evening, and the train was stopped at Huntingdon station in Cambridgeshire. Ten people were taken to hospital, nine with life‑threatening injuries, and authorities said there were no fatalities. Armed officers tasered and restrained a man on the platform and two men were arrested; Counter Terrorism Policing is supporting the investigation. A large-scale emergency response — dozens of police, numerous ambulances, critical care teams and air ambulances — attended and Huntingdon station was closed, causing major disruption to services. Witnesses described chaotic scenes with people hiding and blood on board, and video showing a heavy emergency presence circulated. Prime Minister Keir Starmer called the incident “appalling” and urged people to follow police advice while investigators work to establish the full circumstances and motive.
