🚨 Stabbings on a High-Speed Train in Cambridgeshire 🚆🔪

Two men are in custody after multiple stabbings on a high-speed train in Cambridgeshire that left two people with life-threatening injuries, police have said 😨.

A 32-year-old black British national and a 35-year-old Briton of Caribbean descent have been arrested, British Transport Police said, after the incident on Saturday night, after which 11 people were treated in hospital 🏥.

Police said there was nothing to suggest it was a terrorist incident and have asked the public to come forward with any more information 📞.

One of the men, brandishing a large knife, is believed to have been shot with a Taser by police at Huntingdon train station in Cambridgeshire, eastern England ⚡️.

The train was the 6.25pm service from Peterborough to King’s Cross in central London 🚄.
British Transport Police (BTP) declared a major incident and said two people had been arrested after the train was diverted and made an emergency stop at Huntingdon station ⛔️.

Footage on social media shows five police officers tackling a suspect to the ground, shortly after he reportedly shouted “Kill me, kill me” 😱.

Supt John Loveless told reporters at the scene in Huntingdon on Sunday:
“At approximately 7.42pm yesterday evening, there were calls to the police service in relation to multiple stabbings which took place onboard a train service 🚨.

“Officers immediately attended Huntington station alongside paramedics, where armed police officers from Cambridgeshire police boarded the train and arrested two people within eight minutes of the 999 call being made ⏱️.

“Two men were brought into police custody, where they remain this morning.”

Eleven people had been treated in hospital and two remained in a life-threatening condition, while four people had been discharged, Loveless said ❤️‍🩹.

“Ten people were taken to hospital by ambulance and another person self-presented later that evening. While nine were initially believed to have life-threatening injuries, following assessment and treatment, four, thankful to say, have been discharged. However, two patients remain in a life-threatening condition.” ⚕️

Dozens of ambulances and police officers were waiting at platform 2 for the wounded and to apprehend the suspects, witnesses said 🚑👮.

The defence secretary, John Healey, said there was “no reason for the rest of us not to get on with our lives”, as he described the early assessment of the mass stabbing as an “isolated attack” 🗣.

He told Sky News:
“The early assessment is that this was an isolated incident, an isolated attack. So there’s no reason for the rest of us not to get on with our lives, get on and travel to the places we need to get to 🚉.

“But those sorts of conclusions, those further assessments and that information will be provided to the public as soon as we’ve got them.”

Viorel Turturica, 42, a taxi driver who captured footage of a man’s arrest, told the Daily Mail that, shortly before, he was shouting “kill me, kill me, kill me” to the officers 😵‍💫.

Turturica said:
“I had arrived at the station pick-up point at 7:41pm and was waiting for a passenger. As soon as I see the passenger a few minutes later, I then see everybody running out of the station 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️.

“Then, 10 seconds later, a man dressed in black holding a huge kitchen knife in his hand runs past my car, at 7.47pm. The police arrive seconds later and I could hear him shouting: ‘Kill me, kill me, kill me’ to them 😨.

“They then taser him, and as soon as he is down they say to him: ‘Drop your weapon’. That’s when I started recording 🎥.”
