LONDON — Ten people were injured in a stabbing attack on a train that connects London to the North of England on Saturday night, authorities said.
Nine suffered life-threatening injuries while a 10th victim was being treated for non-life-threatening injuries, British Transport Police said in a statement early Sunday.
"There have been no fatalities," the agency said.
The U.K.-wide Counter Terrorism Policing agency said it is assisting with the investigation being led by transport police.
British Transport Police said it hopes to discover the "full circumstances and motivation" for the attack, which was "declared a major incident."
"At this early stage it would not be appropriate to speculate on the causes of the incident," British Transport Police Chief Superintendent Chris Casey said in the statement.
Police and medics rushed to a station in Huntingdon, northwest of Cambridge, where the train was stopped following a report of stabbings at 7:42 p.m. GMT (3:42 p.m. ET), according to transport police and social media video of the aftermath.
Cambridgeshire Police, which patrols the area, arrested two people at the scene in connection with the incident, authorities said. The suspects were not immediately identified and any allegations against them were not given.
An East of England Ambulance Service spokesperson said it scrambled numerous ambulances, tactical commanders, a hazardous response team, and two helicopters to transport "multiple patients" to the hospital.
U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer called the violence "appalling" and "deeply concerning" and said, "My thoughts are with all those affected, and my thanks go to the emergency services for their response."
The London North Eastern Railway (LNER) issued a "Do Not Travel" alert for the line on Saturday. The train operating company said some lines remained closed Sunday and some services could be canceled or delayed.
LNER Managing Director David Horne said in an update early on Sunday that they were "shocked and saddened" by the attack, and thanked emergency services for their quick response.
"The safety and wellbeing of everyone affected will remain our priority," Horne said. "We will continue to do everything we can to support our customers and colleagues during this difficult time."
British Transport Police said the train was the 6:25 p.m. GMT (2:25 p.m. ET) service from Doncaster in the North of England to London King's Cross. Huntingdon is about 77 miles north of London.

What could ever have motivated two men to get so stabby?
BREAKING: A 32-year-old black British male and 35-year-old British national of Caribbean descent have been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder. Two people remain in a life-threatening condition in hospital, and the police are not currently deeming this as terror related.
Not illegal immigrants, huh? Presto chango, huh?
Many of the recent British terror attacks have been killed by the children of immigrants, because assimilation works so well when you teach immigrants to hate the country that pampers them.
The fruits of mass uncontrolled immigration go on and on....
In the UK it seems the immigrants are a protected class and its citizens are prosecuted for complaining about it.
Grok is "truth adjacent" according to my research using chatGPT. For one thing, the statistic "55%" is misleadingly specific:
Number B is that the comment at the end claiming to offer as reasons "... integration failures and migration contribute to the threat " is opinion masquerading as fact:
Not only that but I heard one was the friend, of a co-worker, of a cousin (twice removed) of an immigrant.
Many things. Perhaps a cheating wife or lover? Conflicts with a boss at work?
Climate change?
Even perhaps . . . displeasure with the rising cost of food?
Or perhaps worst of all . . . the high price of eggs!!! (Or is that just an American thing???)
They spent generations building a polite and refined country and then let some outsiders come in and destroy it
More uncontrolled immigration will certainly calm things down...
The article doesn't say a thing about immigrants!
One track mind much?
It doesn't need to be mentioned. The migrant's slow takeover of the UK and other countries has gone on for decades,

Denial doesn't change the truth.

"not be appropriate to speculate"??? Except on social media of course!!!
