British Transport Police arrested a 32-year-old man on suspicion of attempted murder after he stabbed 10 passengers on an LNER train from Doncaster to King’s Cross on Saturday evening, with authorities quickly ruling out terrorism due to no evidence of political or ideological motives.
Train driver Andrew Johnson diverted the service to Huntingdon station, enabling a rapid emergency response, while an LNER staff member who intervened remains in life-threatening condition.
King Charles III expressed shock at the violence, as political leaders called for measures to address Britain’s knife crime epidemic.
