LONDON: UK police said they had arrested two suspects Saturday after “multiple people” were stabbed on a train in Cambridgeshire, eastern England.

“We are currently responding to an incident on a train to Huntingdon where multiple people have been stabbed,” British Transport Police said on X, adding that “two people have been arrested.”

More than 30 officers, including armed officers, attended the scene and two men were arrested following emergency calls, the BBC reported.

No details about how many people have been stabbed have been released, or the status of those attacked.

“Two men have been arrested by police this evening after more than 30 officers were called to Huntingdon Train Station,” a Cambridgeshire Police spokesperson said.

“We were called at 7.39pm with reports that multiple people had been stabbed on a train. The incident remains ongoing and the A1307 has been closed as you approach the town center.”

All lines are currently closed while the incident is dealt with, and operator LNER said in a statement: “Trains running between these stations may be delayed by up to 60 minutes or revised. Major disruption is expected until the end of the day.”
