UK Train Staff, Driver Save Lives in Cambridgeshire Stabbing Attack

A mass stabbing occurred on a London North Eastern Railway train traveling from Doncaster to London King's Cross, injuring 11 passengers, including a critically wounded railway worker who heroically intervened to stop the attacker. The attack happened shortly after the train left Peterborough, and the train driver made an emergency stop at Huntingdon station, which was not on the scheduled route, helping to get passengers to safety and enabling police to arrest the 32-year-old British suspect within 11 minutes of the emergency call. Authorities confirmed the incident was not linked to terrorism, and the suspect remains in custody. British Transport Police and government officials praised the bravery of the railway worker and the driver, crediting their actions with saving many lives. The critically injured staff member's identity has not been disclosed for safety, but his efforts have been described as "nothing short of heroic." Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and the Prince and Princess of Wales expressed sympathy for the victims and their families amid ongoing investigations.
