Police Say No Terror Link in Huntingdon Train Stabbings

Two suspects remain in custody with two patients still in life‑threatening condition after overnight treatment.

Overview

  • The attack unfolded Saturday evening on a Doncaster–to–London service that was halted at Huntingdon around 19:40 local time.
  • Ten people were taken to hospital, police later said four had been discharged and two remained critical, and no deaths were reported.
  • British Transport Police are leading the criminal investigation after counter‑terror units initially supported the response but found no evidence of a terrorist motive.
  • Two arrested men, aged 32 and 35 and born in the UK, were detained at the station within minutes of the first alert.
  • Forensic work continues at Huntingdon with station and local road closures reported, while eyewitnesses described chaotic scenes and a man with a large knife, which police have not formally confirmed.
