🔗 Share this article Courageous Train Employee Endures Severe Wounds During Mass Stabbing Attack on Express Train A brave railway employee who intervened to save travelers during a mass stabbing incident on a high-speed train has suffered life-threatening injuries, police stated on Sunday. Particulars of the Terrifying Incident CCTV footage reportedly shows the staff member trying to halt the assailant as the train traveled between a city and another station in the county. Bystanders recounted a terrifying 14-minute period after the train departed Peterborough, with injured victims running through compartments. The suspect, a 32-year-old citizen from Peterborough, remains in custody for interrogation. Police declared a significant event on the 6:25 pm service from Peterborough to King's Cross in downtown London. Crisis Response and Aftermath The incident on the weekend led to 11 people being cared for in hospital after the train made an unscheduled stop at platform 2 in Huntingdon. Several individuals have now been discharged from hospital. A witness filmed the suspect waving a big knife and being shot with a Taser as he confronted police on the station. He was allegedly heard yelling, "End my life, end my life." “This was a horrific attack that has had a wide impact. My thoughts and those of everyone in British Transport Police are with those injured and their families – particularly the courageous member of rail staff whose family are being supported by specialist personnel,” stated a senior police official. Union Response and Appeals for Action Rail unions were swift to commend staff and demand increased measures. A union leader stated he would be “seeking immediate discussions with authorities, rail employers and law enforcement to ensure that we have the best possible assistance, resources and robust procedures in place”. A different association leader urged the rail company and government “to move swiftly to review security, to help the affected workers, and to ensure that no incident like this occurs again”. Driver Praised for Quick Action The operator who stopped the train at Huntingdon was reported as being “deeply affected” but “well”, and has been praised by union representatives for doing “exactly the right thing”. “The driver didn’t halt the service in the middle of two stations where it’s obviously difficult for the first responders to reach, but he carried on traveling until he arrived to Huntingdon, where the response was almost waiting,” explained a association official. Additional Details Police said they received the first emergency calls at 7:39 pm, and the train was forced to make an unscheduled stop in Huntingdon at 7:50 pm. One observer described at first thinking if the event was a Halloween joke, but quickly realized from individuals' faces that it was serious. Police have stated there is no evidence to indicate the event was a terror-related incident and have requested the community to provide with any further details. Rail operations on the impacted line are anticipated to have disruption until Monday, with travelers recommended to defer their travel where possible. Anyone with information that could help the inquiry are asked to reach authorities by sending a message a specific number with a reference code.
