A wave of shock and fear swept through Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire, as a massive police response descended upon the town’s railway station. Dramatic footage quickly spread, showing dozens of police vehicles converging on the scene, drawing a rapidly growing crowd of onlookers.
Eyewitnesses reported a scene unlike anything they had ever witnessed, with armed officers flooding the area and traffic grinding to a complete halt. Drivers caught in the chaos expressed disbelief at the scale of the emergency deployment.
Initial reports painted a grim picture, with authorities confirming a stabbing incident on a train arriving at Huntingdon station. Multiple people were injured in what is being described as a brutal attack.
Law enforcement swiftly moved to secure the area, arresting two individuals in connection with the incident. The A1307 road remains closed, and all rail lines around the station are blocked, causing widespread disruption to travel.
The impact extended far beyond Huntingdon, with major disruption rippling across the LNER network. Train operators issued urgent “Do Not Travel” warnings, advising passengers to postpone journeys wherever possible.
Services to numerous destinations, including Hull, Lincoln, Doncaster, Leeds, and Harrogate, were all affected, and Thameslink routes between Horsham, Kings Cross, and Peterborough also experienced significant delays.
British Transport Police are leading the investigation, working alongside Cambridgeshire Police to piece together the events that unfolded. Further updates are expected as the situation develops and more information becomes available.
The community is reeling from the sudden violence, and authorities are urging anyone with information to come forward. The focus remains on supporting those affected and ensuring the safety of the public.
