[English]

Okay, good morning ladies and gentlemen.

My name is Superintendent John Loveless

and I'm here to provide you with an

update on the incident at Huntington

Station that took place here last night.

It's a shocking incident and first and

foremost, my thoughts are with the

family and friends of those who have

been affected and those who are injured.

At approximately 7:42 p.m. yesterday

evening,

there were calls to the police service

in relation to multiple stabbings which

took board which took place on board a

train service that departed Doncaster at

6:25 p.m. and was on route to London

King's Cross Station.

Officers immediately attended Huntington

station alongside paramedics where armed

police officers from Cambridge police

boarded the train and arrested two

people.

Within 8 minutes of the 999 call being

made, two men were brought into police

custody where they remain this morning.

I can tell you that these are the first

male, a 32y old male, a black British

national and a 35year-old man, a British

national of Caribbean descent. They were

both arrested on suspicion of attempted

murder.

Both were born in the United Kingdom.

As stated, they remain this morning in

separate police stations for

questioning.

10 people were taken to hospital by

ambulance and another person

self-presented later that evening.

While nine were initially believed to

have life-threatening injuries,

following assessment and treatment,

four, thankful to say, have been

discharged.

However, two patients remain in a

life-threatening condition.

British Transport Police declared a

major incident yesterday and

counterterrorism policing were initially

supporting our investigation. However,

at this stage, there is nothing to

suggest that this is a terrorist

incident.

This is a British Transport Police

investigation and we continue to work to

establish at pace the full circumstances

and the motivations that have led to

this incident.

At this early stage, it would not be

appropriate to speculate on the cause of

this incident.

As you can see, the station this morning

remains closed. However, we expect

trains to be passing through the station

this morning. Passengers will see a high

visibility presence of police officers

at stations and on trains throughout

today up and down the transport network.

Our officers are there to reassure the

public and to address any concerns they

may have.

I'd like to thank the public personally

for their patience and their cooperation

yesterday evening, which has already

greatly assisted our investigation

through the help the public attended, as

well as the multi- agency response

partners from colleagues in other blue

light services. I'd like to extend my

thanks to our colleagues within

Cambridge Police, the East of the East

of England Ambulance Service, Cambridge

Fire and Rescue Service, and

Counterterrorism Policing.

And finally, I'd like to appeal for

anyone that's watching who has

information connected to yesterday's

incident, however big or small you feel

that may be, that has not yet spoken to

police to make contact.

You can do so by texting the British

Transport Police on 6116.

That's 6116

quoting reference 663

of the 1st of November 2025.

>> Thank you very much.

>> Will that suspect known to the police? I

won't be taking any more questions, but

thank you very
