"Police in England on Sunday ruled out speculation that a mass stabbing on a passenger train that injured 11 people was a terrorist attack. "At this stage, there is nothing to suggest that this is a terrorist incident," British Transport Police Superintendent John Loveless told UK media. He continued: "At this early stage, it would not be appropriate to speculate on the causes of the incident.""
"Two people remain in a life-threatening condition, police said Sunday. "Armed police from Cambridgeshire Police boarded the train and arrested two people in connection to the incident who have been taken to police custody," police said in a statement. Loveless confirmed that the pair were being held on suspicion of attempted murder. One suspect is a 32-year-old Black British man, the other is a 35-year-old man of Caribbean descent, he said."
"The train involved was the 6.25 p.m. from Doncaster to King's Cross in London, British Transport Police said. Rail services on the East Coast Main Line, which connects the UK capital with major cities like York, Newcastle, and Edinburgh, faced disruption on Sunday. In a post on X Saturday night, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer said the incident was "deeply concerning" and that his thoughts were with those affected."
