Fucking hell, I live near Huntingdon and take this train regularly, have had trouble where its been stopped due to a fight before but nothing like this
GB News reporter Jack Hadfield tweeting about this:
>Staff members from LNER are telling commuters stuck on the line now that 10 people have been stabbed on a train, according to my sources.
>Allegedly, most of the current victims are members of train staff.
>We can’t live like this!
>My sources are now telling me that one staff member is in critical condition, as two people have been arrested by police following the incident

The reports I’m seeing on X from various journalists and reporters are of at least 10 people stabbed, and at least one person in a critical condition. The number seems to be quite consistent among them
[Helpful Politics UK summary](https://x.com/PolitlcsUK/status/1984748204034847116):

This news is terrible, multiple people stabbed on a train, at least 30 armed police in attendance. It feels all too familiar with the terrorist attacks we’ve experienced in the past decades.
My thoughts are with the victims and their families.

From the article as it is currently:
>Two people have been arrested after “multiple people” were stabbed on a train.
>British Transport Police are currently responding to the incident on an LNER train to Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire.
>Armed officers attended the scene and two men were arrested following 999 calls at 19.39 GMT.
>More than 30 officers were sent to the scene. No details about how many people have been stabbed have been released, or how serious the injuries are.
So maybe we should wait for an actual police statement…
I cannot imagine the panic on that train it must have been awful.

Why doesn’t Reddit just remove the removed comments so we don’t have this comment graveyard?

Can’t wait for “well they had mental problems, can’t do anything about it, there’s always crazy people”
And we just move on like it never happened, until the next time it happens in a couple of months.
There’s more removed / banned comments than actual comments 😂 What are these people saying?!
Shabana Mahmood, Home Secretary:
>”My thoughts go out to all those affected. Two suspects have been immediately arrested and taken into custody. I am receiving regular updates on the investigation. I urge people to avoid comment and speculation at this early stage.”
I think they need to release some details if there is any reason “to avoid comment and speculation” because if it’s what people think it is we may not be in for a good time.
On a positive there’s a hospital just over the road plus the Cambridgeshire police headquarters 500m away.
