UK police say 2 people remain in life-threatening condition after a stabbing attack on a train

"LONDON -- British police dismissed speculation on Sunday that a mass stabbing attack on a London-bound train the previous evening was terrorist-related and said two people who were injured in the incident remain in life-threatening condition."

""This is a shocking incident and my thoughts are with those who have been injured and their families," British Transport Police Superintendent John Loveless said outside the station in Huntingdon in eastern England where the train halted soon after the attack."

"During the immediate response to the attack, the police force said that "Plato," the national code word used by police and emergency services when responding to what could be a "marauding terror attack," was initiated. That declaration was later rescinded but no motive for the attack has been disclosed."

A mass stabbing occurred on a London-bound train that made an emergency stop in Huntingdon, about 120 kilometers north of London. Two UK-born men, a 32-year-old Black British man and a 35-year-old man of Caribbean descent, were arrested within eight minutes of the first emergency calls. Police reported 11 people injured, with two in life-threatening condition and four discharged. Police initiated the national "Plato" alert for a possible marauding terror attack and later rescinded it, stating there was nothing to suggest a terrorist incident. No motive has been disclosed.
