Witnesses say the attack unfolded shortly after the train pulled out of Peterborough, also in Cambridgeshire, which was a scheduled stop.
The train was stopped in Huntingdon, a town in Cambridgeshire, where police arrested two suspects. Ten people were taken to the hospital, with nine believed to have suffered life-threatening injuries and one with non-life-threatening injuries.
Sir Keir Starmer called the incident ‘deeply shocking’, while specialist counter-terrorism police have been brought in to support the investigation.
