How the Huntingdon train stabbing unfolded
"When people began to flee down the train carriage shouting run, run, there's a guy literally stabbing everyone, terrified passengers thought it was a Halloween prank. But when Olly Foster leant on a chair and found it soaked in blood, he realised something horrific was unfolding. Nine people onboard the London-bound LNER train from Doncaster have been left fighting for their lives after the mass stabbing attack, with a tenth also wounded."
"The 6.25pm service from Doncaster departed on time. The London-bound train sped through the Midlands and into Cambridgeshire, making brief stops at Retford, Newark, and Grantham as planned. The service looked set to arrive at King's Cross before 8.30pm on Saturday night. At around 7:39pm, as the train passed between its scheduled stops of Peterborough and Stevenage, a passenger made a desperate call reporting a multiple stabbing to emergency services."
