\nThe BTP Chief Superintendent said it ‘would not be appropriate to speculate on the causes of the incident’<\/p>\n
Counter-terrorism police in the UK are involved in an investigation into a mass stabbing on a train in which nine people sustained life-threatening injuries.<\/p>\n
Police said there have been no fatalities so far, adding that a tenth person suffered non-life-threatening injuries.<\/p>\n
A man with a knife is believed to have been shot with a taser by police after the incident on board a high-speed train after it left Peterborough station in Cambridgeshire yesterday.<\/p>\n
British Transport Police (BTP) said two people have been arrested in connection with the stabbings.<\/p>\n
In a statement, the BTP said that at 7.42pm yesterday it was “called to reports of a multiple stabbing on board the 6.25pm train service from Doncaster to London King’s Cross”.<\/p>\n
“Officers immediately attended Huntingdon station alongside paramedics,” it said.<\/p>\n
“Armed police from Cambridgeshire Police boarded the train and arrested two people in connection to the incident who have been taken to police custody,” it added.<\/p>\n
\nThe BTP Chief Superintendent said it ‘would not be appropriate to speculate on the causes of the incident’<\/p>\n
The BTP said: “This has been declared a major incident and Counter Terrorism Policing are supporting our investigation whilst we work to establish the full circumstances and motivation for this incident.”<\/p>\n
Chief Superintendent Chris Casey said the British Transport Police are “conducting urgent enquiries to establish what has happened”.<\/p>\n
“At this early stage it would not be appropriate to speculate on the causes of the incident,” Chief Supt Casey said, adding “it could take some time before we are in a position to confirm anything further”.<\/p>\n
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer described the incidents as “deeply concerning”.<\/p>\n
“My thoughts are with all those affected, and my thanks go to the emergency services for their response,” he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Counter-terrorism police in the UK are involved in an investigation into a mass stabbing on a train in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":117336,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[42,43,40,38,41,39],"class_list":{"0":"post-117335","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-headlines","8":"tag-headlines","9":"tag-news","10":"tag-top-news","11":"tag-top-stories","12":"tag-topnews","13":"tag-topstories"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117335","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=117335"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117335\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/117336"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=117335"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=117335"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=117335"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
