đ Share this article Heroic Rail Employee Receives Life-Threatening Injuries Amid Mass Stabbing Incident on Express Service A brave railway staff member who intervened to protect travelers during a multiple stabbing attack on a express train has sustained life-threatening injuries, authorities confirmed on Sunday. Details of the Terrifying Event Surveillance footage reportedly depicts the employee trying to halt the assailant as the train traveled between Peterborough and another station in Cambridgeshire. Bystanders described a terrifying 14-minute duration after the train left Peterborough, with injured passengers fleeing through carriages. The individual, a 32-year-old citizen from Peterborough, remains in detention for interrogation. Police announced a significant incident on the 6:25 pm service from Peterborough to King's Cross in central London. Emergency Response and Aftermath The event on Saturday night resulted in 11 people being cared for in hospital after the train made an unscheduled stop at the station in Huntingdon. Several people have now been discharged from hospital. A witness filmed the individual brandishing a large knife and being shot with a Taser as he confronted officers on the platform. He was allegedly heard yelling, "Kill me, kill me." âThis was a horrific attack that has had a wide impact. My thoughts and those of everyone in British Transport Police are with those injured and their families â particularly the courageous employee of rail staff whose relatives are being assisted by trained officers,â stated a senior police official. Union Reaction and Appeals for Action Train unions were quick to commend staff and call for more action. One labor leader stated he would be âseeking urgent meetings with government, rail employers and law enforcement to guarantee that we have the strongest available assistance, resources and effective protocols in placeâ. Another association representative encouraged the train operator and government âto move swiftly to review safety, to help the affected employees, and to ensure nothing like this happens againâ. Operator Commended for Quick Action The operator who halted the train at Huntingdon was described as being âvery shakenâ but âwellâ, and has been commended by union officials for doing âexactly the right thingâ. âHe didnât stop the train in the center of two stops where itâs clearly difficult for the emergency services to reach, but he carried on going until he arrived to Huntingdon, where the assistance was pretty much already there,â stated a union representative. Additional Information Authorities stated they got the initial emergency reports at 7:39 pm, and the train was compelled to make an unplanned stop in Huntingdon at 7:50 pm. One witness described initially wondering if the situation was a Halloween prank, but soon realized from individuals' expressions that it was serious. Authorities have stated there is no evidence to indicate the incident was a terrorist incident and have requested the community to come forward with any further details. Rail services on the affected line are expected to have disruption until the following day, with passengers advised to defer their journeys where possible.
