Really worrying.

Two men have been arrested by armed officers after multiple people were stabbed on a train.

The train was stopped at Huntingdon, in Cambridgeshire, after police were called at around 7.40pm on Saturday.

Cambridgeshire Police said a number of people have been taken to hospital, while a "large-scale response" was deployed by the East of England Ambulance Service.

Video shared online which appears to have been filmed from a railway bridge shows a huge police response with armed officers running along the platform towards the train carriages.

Witnesses told Sky News the stabbings started shortly after the train left Peterborough.


One man who was on the train told Sky News he saw someone coming though his carriage saying: "They've got a knife, I've been stabbed."

"They were making their way through the carriage to get away from the suspects. They were extremely bloodied," said the man who gave his name as Gavin.

He said by the time the train pulled up "they were basically on the floor".

"That person ended up collapsing on the floor. They were taken to an ambulance pretty much straight away," he said.


Gavin said passengers were ushered out into the station and "there were multiple people who had been stabbed making their way down".

But he said one of the suspects had also come off the train and was "running rampant as well", and was "waving a large knife" before he was taken down by armed officers.

London North Eastern Railway, which operates East Coast Mainline services in the UK, said all lines are blocked around Huntingdon station, with major disruption expected until the end of the day.

Police said the A1307 has been closed on the approach to the town centre and the incident remains ongoing.

Cambridgeshire Police said in a statement: "We were called at 7.39pm with reports that multiple people had been stabbed on a train.

"Armed officers attended and the train was stopped at Huntingdon, where two men were arrested.

"A number of people have been taken to hospital.

"The incident remains ongoing and the A1307 has been closed as you approach the town centre."

Huntingdon MP Ben Obese-Jecty said in a post on X he was "aware of the incident" and "trying to establish further information".

"My thoughts are with the victims and those involved," he wrote.

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said the "appalling incident" was "deeply concerning".

"My thoughts are with all those affected, and my thanks go to the emergency services for their response," he wrote on X.

"Anyone in the area should follow the advice of the police."

The Home Secretary said she was "deeply saddened" by the incident in Huntingdon and urged the public to "avoid comment and speculation at this early stage".

In a statement on X, Shabana Mahmood said: "Two suspects have been immediately arrested and taken into custody.

"I am receiving regular updates on the investigation."

Huntingdon MP Ben Obese-Jecty said in a post on X he was "aware of the incident" and "trying to establish further information".

"My thoughts are with the victims and those involved," he wrote.

Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp said on X: "Horrific scenes in Huntingdon, in what seems to be a brutal mass attack by two perpetrators.

"My thoughts are with all those injured or affected and the emergency services responding The police and government should provide an update on what happened and who has been arrested as soon as possible

Tory party chairman Kevin Hollinrake also described the scenes as "horrifying".

"My thoughts are with the victims and the emergency services responding to this incident," he wrote on X.

This is so terrifying, my first thought was when the black man stabbed the blonde Ukrainian girl in NYC on the subway These types of crimes are becoming far too common and there is only one solution for it

Evil Murder

Passenger Gavin recalled several people moving through the train, and hearing one say, 'They've got a knife. I have been stabbed'

…passengers hiding in train toilets to try to protect themselves…

Live, said, because it is two arrested

…I mean, whether it’s politically motivated or not isn’t going to change that it’s an act of terrorising people into not feeling any safety and feeling helpless on a crowded train …those people with life threatening injuries right now/and their families and loved ones, they really don’t care what labels are attached and who attaches them…I mean, really when it come down to it…lives aren’t slaughtered and taken because of ‘political’….they’re taken because of hatred and evil and no value being placed on those lives…they’re just like pins in a bowling alley to be knocked down…


…I can’t begin to imagine how it must feel right now for one of those people/victim’s loved ones…to listen to Trevor Philips saying…oh yes, well this would be terrorism, I reckon…most likely anyway, but we’ll let you know in due course for sure…

Right? wouldn't the most respectful thing be to say we are treating this as terrorism and then row back if it not, this tip toeing around does no one any favours
