đ Share this article Brave Train Employee Endures Severe Wounds During Multiple Knife Attack on High-Speed Train A valiant train employee who stepped in to protect passengers during a mass knife incident on a express train has sustained critical injuries, police confirmed on Sunday. Details of the Frightening Incident CCTV video allegedly depicts the employee trying to stop the attacker as the train journeyed between a city and another station in the county. Witnesses recounted a frightening 14-minute duration after the train left Peterborough, with bloodied passengers running through compartments. The individual, a 32-year-old citizen from Peterborough, remains in custody for interrogation. Authorities declared a major incident on the 6:25 pm service from Peterborough to King's Cross in downtown London. Emergency Response and Aftermath The incident on Saturday night led to 11 people being treated in medical facilities after the train made an unplanned stop at the station in Huntingdon. Five people have now been discharged from hospital. A bystander filmed the suspect brandishing a large knife and being shot with a Taser as he confronted officers on the station. He was allegedly heard shouting, "Kill me, kill me." âThis awful event has created broad consequences. Our sympathies go out to the injured and their loved ones â particularly the brave member of rail staff whose family are being supported by specialist personnel,â said a high-ranking police officer. Union Reaction and Appeals for Action Train unions were quick to commend staff and demand more measures. One union official said he would be ârequesting immediate discussions with authorities, train companies and police to guarantee that we have the best available support, resources and effective procedures in operationâ. Another union leader urged the rail company and government âto act quickly to review security, to support the impacted workers, and to make sure nothing like this happens againâ. Driver Praised for Rapid Thinking The train driver who halted the service at Huntingdon was described as being âvery shakenâ but âgoodâ, and has been praised by union representatives for doing âprecisely what was neededâ. âThe driver didnât halt the service in the center of two stops where itâs obviously difficult for the first responders to access, but he continued traveling until he got to Huntingdon, where the assistance was pretty much waiting,â stated a union representative. Further Details Police said they received the initial emergency reports at 7:39 pm, and the train was forced to make an unscheduled stop in Huntingdon at 7:50 pm. An witness recounted at first wondering if the situation was a Halloween prank, but soon understood from people's faces that it was real. Police have stated there is nothing to indicate the event was a terror-related attack and have asked the public to come forward with any further information. Train operations on the impacted line are expected to experience disruption until Monday, with passengers advised to postpone their journeys where feasible. Individuals with details that could help the investigation are asked to contact authorities by texting a specific number with a reference code.
