Knife-Wielding Terrorists Injure 10 Passengers on UK Train

Ten people were injured by rampaging terrorists aboard a train in Cambridgeshire, England, on Saturday, as two men armed with large knives attacked terrified passengers. Counter-terror police are investigating the assault, according to reports.

Nine of the victims suffered life-threatening wounds when the unidentified assailants began slashing commuters aboard an LNER train departing Peterborough for London around 7:35 p.m., Sky News reported.

Police said the two attackers, dressed entirely in black, were tasered, restrained, and taken into custody at the scene.

Though a motive has not yet been revealed, England’s Counter Terrorism Police have joined the investigation. The British Transport Police said officers used the UK emergency code “Plato” during the incident — a term reserved for suspected marauding terror attacks.

Panic erupted inside the train as passengers fled down aisles, locking themselves in bathrooms to escape the bloodshed.

“They were making their way through the carriage to get away from the suspects. They were extremely bloodied,” a man identified only as Gavin told Sky News.

He said he spotted one of the attackers on the platform, describing him as holding “quite a large knife.”

“The suspect had also come off the train as well. So while we were being told to come out of the station the suspect was obviously running rampant,” Gavin added.

Video shared online showed a massive emergency response at Huntingdon Station, with dozens of police vehicles and ambulances surrounding the area.

“We are currently responding to an incident on a train in Huntingdon where multiple people have been stabbed,” the British Transport Police confirmed on X Saturday.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer expressed his concern and extended condolences following the attack, though he gave no details about the suspects or their motive.

“The appalling incident on a train near Huntingdon is deeply concerning. My thought are with those affected, and my thanks go to the emergency services for their response,” Starmer wrote on X.
