Nine people with life-threatening injuries after mass stabbing on train in Cambridgeshire

Train was travelling from Doncaster to London’s Kings Cross – and stopped in Cambridgeshirepublished at 07:17 GMT
Huntingdon, Cambridge, London, Doncaster, Peterborough.
A lot of places have been named in the reporting of this attack – let’s break that down.
When news initially broke of the stabbing attack, late on Saturday, police said it had taken place in Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire.
We later learnt that the train itself was the 18:25 GMT service from Doncaster, in South Yorkshire, to London King’s Cross.
Some passengers have said the attack started to unfold shortly after the train left Peterborough, also in Cambridgeshire – a scheduled stop, which is about an hour from London on the train.
After police received reports of the stabbings, the train made an unscheduled stop at Huntingdon station – around 15 minutes from Peterborough by train. This is where armed officers from Cambridgeshire Police were able to board the train, make their arrests and help passengers.
Images from the scene show unharmed passengers being put on buses bound for London a little before 23:00.
