Two Huntingdon train stabbing victims fight for life as police question British suspects
- Two people are fighting for their lives and 11 were injured in a mass stabbing on an LNER train travelling from Doncaster to London King's Cross.
- British Transport Police arrested two British men, aged 32 and 35, on suspicion of attempted murder after the train made an emergency stop at Huntingdon station.
- Witnesses reported seeing a man waving a large knife, with passengers fleeing in terror and hiding in toilets, before a suspect was reportedly tasered by police.
- The incident, which occurred on Saturday evening, is not being treated as terror-related, according to British Transport Police and Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood.
- A major incident was declared, and police initially used the national code word "Plato" for a marauding terror attack, which was later rescinded.
