đ Share this article Brave Rail Employee Suffers Severe Injuries During Multiple Knife Attack on Express Train A courageous railway staff member who intervened to protect passengers during a mass knife incident on a high-speed train has sustained life-threatening wounds, police stated on Sunday. Particulars of the Frightening Incident CCTV footage reportedly shows the staff member trying to halt the assailant as the train traveled between a city and another station in Cambridgeshire. Bystanders described a terrifying 14-minute period after the train departed Peterborough, with bloodied victims fleeing through compartments. The individual, a 32-year-old British national from Peterborough, remains in detention for questioning. Authorities announced a significant event on the 6:25 pm service from Peterborough to King's Cross in downtown London. Emergency Reaction and Consequences The event on Saturday night led to 11 people being cared for in medical facilities after the train made an unscheduled stop at platform 2 in Huntingdon. Five people have now been discharged from medical care. A bystander recorded the suspect brandishing a big knife and being shot with a Taser as he confronted police on the platform. He was reportedly heard yelling, "Kill me, kill me." âThis was a horrific attack that has had a wide impact. Our sympathies go out to the injured and their loved ones â especially the courageous member of train personnel whose relatives are being assisted by trained officers,â stated a high-ranking law enforcement official. Labor Reaction and Calls for Action Rail associations were quick to praise staff and call for increased measures. A union official said he would be âseeking immediate discussions with authorities, rail employers and law enforcement to guarantee that we have the strongest available assistance, tools and effective protocols in placeâ. Another union leader encouraged the train operator and authorities âto move quickly to review safety, to help the affected employees, and to make sure nothing like this occurs againâ. Driver Praised for Quick Action The train driver who stopped the service at Huntingdon was reported as being âvery shakenâ but âwellâ, and has been commended by association representatives for doing âexactly the right thingâ. âHe did not halt the train in the middle of two stations where itâs obviously difficult for the emergency services to access, but he carried on traveling until he got to Huntingdon, where the response was pretty much already there,â stated a association official. Additional Details Police said they got the initial distress calls at 7:39 pm, and the service was forced to make an unscheduled stop in Huntingdon at 7:50 pm. One observer recounted at first thinking if the event was a holiday prank, but soon understood from people's expressions that it was real. Authorities have stated there is nothing to indicate the event was a terror-related attack and have requested the public to provide with any further details. Train services on the impacted route are expected to have delays until the following day, with travelers recommended to postpone their journeys where feasible.
