A brutal incident shook Britain on Sunday night. Two men began stabbing a train departing from Doncaster, prompting the train to be stopped, the authorities notified, and people evacuated. 11 people were injured in the attack, two of whom are in critical condition. The two attackers were taken into custody by police, with one of them begging the officers to kill him.

Panic broke out on a train in Britain on Sunday night when two men attacked passengers. Ten people were injured in the attack, four of whom have been released from hospital, but two are in a critical condition, said John Loveless, the chief inspector of the British Transport Police, who is investigating the incident, at a press conference.

The incident took place in Cambridgeshire, in eastern England. The train was travelling from Doncaster in northern England to London's King's Cross station when two attackers stabbed several passengers. The attack began about 10 minutes after the train left Peterborough. One passenger initially thought it was a Halloween prank, but within minutes he saw the passengers bleeding."It was total panic," he said.

The attack quickly turned into chaos, with many people trying to hide behind seats, while others tried to protect the children, who were severely traumatized by the incident. An elderly man, for example, successfully saved a little girl from one of the attackers, but suffered a serious head injury as a result of his heroic act.

The suspects, a 32-year-old black British man and a 35-year-old British man of Caribbean origin, were arrested by armed police units at the scene within eight minutes of the initial report. The officer stressed that based on the investigation so far, there is no indication that a terrorist act has occurred. Police have not yet released a motive and have warned that it is inappropriate to speculate. The identities of the two men in custody have not been released.

However, a dramatic video has emerged in which one of the attackers can be clearly seen and heard shouting at the police: “Kill me, kill me!”

The British Prime Minister has also been informed of the incident and expressed his sympathy for the injured and their families. He stressed that he despises the actions of the two attackers.
