"The staff member, who has not been named, was one of 10 people taken to hospital after the mass stabbing on Saturday's 6.25pm train service from Doncaster to London King's Cross. BTP declared a major incident when the train came to a stop in Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire, after passengers pulled the emergency alarms and two men were arrested eight minutes after police were called at 7.42pm."
"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 - especially the brave member of rail staff whose family are being supported by specialist officers. Having viewed the CCTV from the train, the actions of the member of rail staff were nothing short of heroic and undoubtedly saved people's lives."
"The LNER staff member is the only person still fighting for their life, BTP said, as they confirmed five of the people taken to hospital after the bloody rampage had been discharged. A knife was recovered by police at the scene of the incident, which police previously said is not believed to have been motivated by terrorism. One man, who gave his name as Gavin, told Sky News he believed he saw the suspect tasered before he was arrested."
Ten people were taken to hospital after a mass stabbing on the 6.25pm Doncaster to London King's Cross train, and a major incident was declared when the train stopped in Huntingdon. Passengers pulled emergency alarms and intervened; some used clothing to stem bleeding and one older man blocked an attacker. Two men were arrested eight minutes after police were called; one was later released with no further action while a 32-year-old man from Peterborough remains in custody on suspicion of attempted murder. An LNER staff member is critically injured and has been praised for heroic actions. Police recovered a knife and say terrorism is not suspected.
