In a shocking scene that shook Britain, last night (Saturday), a routine journey on an LNER train from Doncaster to London turned into a bloody nightmare, after two passengers launched a knife attack inside one of the carriages, resulting in 10 injuries, 9 of whom are in critical condition.

The attack occurred while the train was passing through Cambridgeshire, specifically as it approached Huntingdon. British Transport Police reported that they received urgent calls about "mass stabbings," prompting armed police and air ambulance teams to rush to the scene, where two suspects were arrested within just eight minutes of the first report, after the train stopped at Huntingdon station.

In a subsequent statement, police revealed that the suspects are British citizens born in the UK, one of whom is Black (32 years old) and the other of Caribbean descent (35 years old), confirming that they are in custody on charges of attempted murder.

Comments from King Charles III and the Prime Minister

For his part, King Charles III and his wife expressed "deep shock and dismay" at the bloody incident, stating in a statement from Buckingham Palace that "our hearts are with all those affected and their families," praising the "heroic and swift response of the emergency teams."

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer described the incident as "a horrific event," while police announced the arrest of two men in connection with the attack.

Despite the involvement of the counter-terrorism unit in the initial investigations, British Transport Police confirmed that the incident is not being treated as a terrorist act at this stage, noting that "there are currently no indications of a political or religious motive behind the crime," and that efforts are focused on understanding the circumstances and personal motives.

Moments of Terror on the Train

Passenger Oli Foster recounted the initial moments to the "Daily Mail," saying: "I was in carriage H, listening to an audiobook when a man ran through the carriage shouting: Run! Someone is stabbing everyone! At first, we thought it was a Halloween joke, but the look of terror in his eyes said it all."

Foster added: "I put my hand on one of the seats and found it covered in blood. I saw two men bleeding in front of me, and a little girl in shock after the attacker tried to stab her. She was saved by an elderly man who took the stab instead of her."

In one of the heroic moments later revealed by authorities, "The Sun" reported that one passenger was seriously injured while trying to protect a little girl from the attackers, which was described as "a symbol of courage in the face of terror."

As the screams escalated, passengers fled to the back of the carriages, some armed with whatever bottles or bags they could find in a desperate attempt to defend themselves. Foster said: "The feeling of helplessness was overwhelming. We had nothing but prayer."

For her part, passenger Rain Chambers told the BBC that she heard screams coming from neighboring carriages before seeing a man bleeding from his arm running towards her. "At first, I thought it was a joke, then I saw the blood. We realized it was real and that we had to move immediately."

Chambers described how passengers helped each other exit calmly despite the chaos, while others used their jackets to bandage the wounded.

Unprecedented Response

Huntingdon station was completely closed as armed forces and air ambulances spread throughout the area.

The police announced that the incident was a "major incident," and counter-terrorism units were involved as a precaution against any potential terrorist motives, before it later became clear that it was an isolated criminal act.

Chief Superintendent Chris Casey stated in a press release: "We are conducting urgent investigations to determine what happened. We understand the level of shock among the public, and we ask everyone to avoid speculation until the picture is fully clear."

Interior Minister Shabana Mahmood said on her social media accounts that she is "deeply saddened by what happened," confirming that the suspects were arrested immediately and that investigations are ongoing, praising the "courage of the train crew and passengers."

British Defense Minister Jon Healey also urged citizens to remain "vigilant and alert," affirming that "the British people are strong and resilient, and will not allow such events to intimidate them or disrupt their daily lives."

For her part, Transport Minister Heidi Alexander announced an increase in security presence at train stations and on board trains to reassure passengers, confirming that the government is "reviewing safety measures to ensure that such a tragedy does not happen again."

In the same context, Liberal Democrat leader Ed Davey called for "ensuring justice and enhancing citizens' security," while Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch warned that Britain "cannot continue to face this level of violence in its daily life."

The Mayor of Cambridgeshire also called for calm and unity, affirming the community's solidarity with the victims and their families.

Scene the Following Morning

As dawn broke today (Sunday), the train remained stopped on the station platform, its lights still on while forensic officers and police dogs searched for evidence. Bags, jackets, and laptops left behind by passengers during their escape were seen.

Field images show police and ambulance vehicles lined up outside the station, while roads leading to it were closed.

British Transport Police confirmed that 10 people were taken to the hospital, 9 of whom are in critical condition, with no fatalities reported so far.

David Horn, CEO of LNER, stated in a comment to "The Telegraph": "What happened is a real tragedy. We stand in solidarity with the victims and their families, and we will continue to fully cooperate with the police."

The incident led to the suspension of LNER and Thameslink trains between London and Northern England, amid warnings of continued disruptions until the end of the day after a train carrying dozens of passengers on a quiet evening journey turned into a scene of horror within minutes.

This crime raises serious questions about the security of transportation in Britain and the role of early prevention. While the victims struggle for their lives, the media and the British community continue to await answers to the most important question: Why did this happen?
