đ Share this article Courageous Rail Employee Receives Life-Threatening Wounds Amid Multiple Knife Attack on High-Speed Service A valiant railway staff member who stepped in to save passengers during a multiple stabbing attack on a high-speed train has suffered critical injuries, police confirmed on Sunday. Particulars of the Terrifying Incident CCTV footage reportedly shows the staff member trying to halt the attacker as the train journeyed between Peterborough and Huntingdon in the county. Witnesses recounted a terrifying 14-minute period after the train departed Peterborough, with bloodied victims running through carriages. The suspect, a 32-year-old citizen from Peterborough, remains in custody for questioning. Authorities declared a significant event on the 6:25 pm service from Peterborough to King's Cross in central London. Crisis Reaction and Consequences The event on the weekend resulted in 11 people being treated in medical facilities after the train made an unscheduled stop at the station in Huntingdon. Five individuals have since been discharged from hospital. A witness recorded the individual waving a large knife and being subdued with a Taser as he confronted officers on the station. He was reportedly heard yelling, "End my life, kill me." âThis terrible incident has affected many people. Our sympathies go out to the injured and their loved ones â especially the courageous member of train personnel whose family are being supported by specialist personnel,â said a senior law enforcement official. Union Response and Appeals for Measures Train associations were swift to commend employees and demand increased measures. One labor leader said he would be ârequesting immediate meetings with government, rail employers and police to guarantee that we have the best possible assistance, resources and effective procedures in operationâ. Another union leader urged the train operator and government âto act quickly to examine safety, to support the impacted employees, and to make sure nothing like this happens againâ. Operator Praised for Rapid Action The operator who stopped the service at Huntingdon was reported as being âvery shakenâ but âwellâ, and has been commended by association officials for doing âexactly the right thingâ. âThe driver didnât halt the train in the center of two stations where itâs obviously challenging for the emergency services to access, but he carried on going until he got to Huntingdon, where the assistance was pretty much waiting,â explained a association official. Further Details Police said they got the initial distress calls at 7:39 pm, and the service was compelled to make an unplanned stop in Huntingdon at 7:50 pm. An observer recounted at first wondering if the situation was a holiday joke, but soon realized from people's faces that it was serious. Authorities have stated there is no evidence to indicate the incident was a terrorist attack and have requested the public to come forward with any additional details. Rail services on the affected route are expected to have delays until Monday, with travelers recommended to postpone their journeys where possible. Anyone with information that could help the inquiry are asked to contact authorities by sending a message a designated number with a reference code.
