Based on the investigation so far, there is no indication that a terrorist act occurred when several people were stabbed on a train in England on Saturday evening.

The train was travelling from Doncaster in northern England to London's King's Cross Station when two attackers stabbed several passengers.

Ten people were injured in the attack, four of whom have been released from hospital, two of whom are in a critical condition, the chief inspector of the British Transport Police, who is investigating, said at a press conference. Previously it was known that nine people were seriously injured.

The two attackers, a 32-year-old and a 35-year-old British citizen born in the United Kingdom, were arrested at the scene by armed police units within eight minutes of the initial report. (via Guardian, MTI)
