British police have released new details about victims and suspects after the stabbing on board a train in Huntigdon, Cambridgeshire on Saturday evening.
Several patients are in a life-threatening condition after the stabbing, in which at least eleven people were injured. Police say the suspects were “born in Britain” and remain in custody as of Sunday morning.
“This is a shocking incident and my thoughts are with the injured and their families,” British Transport Police Chief Inspector John Loveless said in a statement.
Loveless described the two suspects as “32-year-old male, a black British citizen, and a 35-year-old male, a British citizen of Caribbean descent.” They were both arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, he said.

Loveless added that nine people initially had life-threatening injuries, but most have since recovered.
“Following assessment and treatment, four have been discharged and two patients remain in a life-threatening condition,” Loveless said.
“We reported a major incident yesterday and Counter Terrorism Policing initially supported our investigation, but at this stage there is nothing to suggest this is a terrorist incident. This is a British Transport Police investigation. We continue to work to establish the full circumstances and motivation for this incident. At this early stage it would not be appropriate to speculate on the causes of the incident,” he added.
