Mass stabbing injures 10 on UK LNER train, two arrested

A mass stabbing on a London North Eastern Railway (LNER) train traveling from Doncaster to London King's Cross in Cambridgeshire has left 10 people injured, nine of whom are in critical condition. The British Transport Police declared a major incident and initially used the national code "Plato," signaling a marauding terror attack, though this was later rescinded. Two suspects were arrested at Huntingdon station where the train was stopped, and police investigations are ongoing with the support of Counter Terrorism units. The incident has caused widespread rail disruptions across key routes, prompting LNER to advise passengers to defer travel until November 4 and impacting the UK tourism and hospitality sectors due to cancellations and delays. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer described the attack as "deeply concerning" and urged the public to follow local authority instructions. Emergency and police services responded swiftly, and LNER has expressed condolences and commitment to supporting those affected during this difficult time.
