Full explosive details πŸ‘‰ Read Now

A peaceful evening commute turned into a nightmarish bloodbath on a high-speed train traveling from Doncaster to London King’s Cross, as two knife-wielding attackers unleashed chaos shortly after departing Peterborough station. Ten passengers were rushed to hospitals, nine in life-threatening condition, prompting a massive emergency response and the involvement of counter-terrorism specialists.

British Transport Police (BTP) declared a “major incident” after receiving a frantic 999 call at 7:39 p.m. local time on Saturday, November 1. The London North Eastern Railway (LNER) Azuma train, carrying dozens of unsuspecting travelers, ground to an emergency halt at Huntingdon station – not a scheduled stop – where armed officers swarmed the scene. Two men were swiftly arrested after one was Tasered while brandishing a large blade on the platform.

Eyewitness accounts paint a scene of unimaginable horror. Olly Foster, a passenger on the train, described fleeing from the rear carriages as screams echoed: “He got on from Peterborough. Black male, mid-20s. Everyone was screaming to run – somebody stabbing everyone.”<post:44></post:44> Another witness, identified only as Gavin, told Sky News he saw blood-soaked victims stumbling through his carriage, one gasping, “They’ve got a knife, I’ve been stabbed!” He recounted armed police shouting “Get down!” at a suspect waving a “quite large knife,” who was ultimately subdued with a Taser.

Passengers barricaded themselves in toilets and hid under coats as the assailants – reportedly two men dressed in black – rampaged for up to 20 minutes, stabbing indiscriminately. “Blood everywhere, people collapsing,” Foster added. One heroic elderly passenger reportedly shielded a young girl from attack, suffering severe wounds to his head and neck in the process.

BTP confirmed: “Ten people taken to hospital, nine with life-threatening injuries. Counter-Terrorism Policing supports our investigation.” No fatalities reported as of Sunday morning, but victims – including train staff – remain in critical care across eastern England hospitals.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer called the incident “appalling” and “deeply concerning,” thanking emergency responders. Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood echoed: “Deeply saddened… Two suspects immediately arrested. Avoid speculation.” Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Mayor Paul Bristow described “horrendous scenes,” while Huntingdon MP Ben Obese-Jecty praised the “staggering” police response: “Never seen anything like it.”<post:40></post:40>

Despite witness descriptions pointing to a primary suspect as a “black male in all black,” official sources have withheld names, ages, or backgrounds – standard protocol until charges. Motive remains unclear, though counter-terror involvement suggests no stone unturned. Police urged the public: “No further risk,” but lines between Peterborough and King’s Cross were blocked overnight, stranding passengers.

The attack has ignited fury online and calls for action on Britain’s knife crime epidemic. X (formerly Twitter) erupted with posts labeling it “another foreign invader turning trains into slaughterhouses,” referencing recent migrant-linked violence.<post:24></post:24> Reform UK and conservative voices demanded border crackdowns, while others speculated on mental health or gang ties – though unconfirmed.

This isn’t isolated. UK knife attacks surged 7% last year, with London alone seeing 15,000 incidents. Starmer recently branded it a “national crisis,” pledging tougher sentences. Critics blast soft policing and open borders: Net migration hit 685,000 in 2024.

Heroism shone amid horror. Reports emerged of passengers fighting back – one with a Jack Daniels bottle – and staff alerting the driver. LNER commended quick thinking that limited further carnage.

As forensics scour the bloodied Azuma – tracks combed under floodlights – questions loom: Were the attackers known to authorities? Radicalized? Random rage? With counter-terror lead, terror links can’t be dismissed.

Families huddle by bedsides; a nation reels. Updates expected as charges loom. BTP appeals for info: Text 61016 or call 0800 40 50 40.
