"Dozens of travellers were forced to barricade themselves into carriages and try to shield themselves from the brutal stabbings, which took place on the 6.25pm Doncaster to London LNER service on Saturday. The train made an unscheduled stop at Huntingdon, where around 30 police officers boarded and apprehended two suspects. Ten people were taken to hospital where two remain in a life-threatening condition, according to the British Transport Police (BTP), and two men have been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder."
"When Alistair Day missed his connection back to Hertford after a day out at the football, he hopped on the 6.25pm service travelling from Doncaster to King's Cross. Shortly after he boarded, he visited the buffet car - then saw people running towards him in what he initially thought was a prank. Then, he noticed they were covered in blood, desperately seeking somewhere to hide after an alleged knifeman unleashed the attack."
Eleven people were injured in a mass stabbing aboard the 6.25pm LNER service from Doncaster to King's Cross. Dozens of passengers barricaded themselves in carriages and the buffet car after bloodied travellers sought shelter. The train made an unscheduled stop at Huntingdon, where about 30 police officers boarded and arrested two suspects. Ten people were taken to hospital, with two in life-threatening condition. An eyewitness, Alistair Day, described initially thinking the surge of people was a prank, then seeing blood and a man at a window with a knife. Forensic teams remained at the scene on Sunday.
