Multiple people have been stabbed on board a train that was heading for Kings Cross in London last night (1 November)

The LNER train was on route to Kings Cross Station in London when the emergency pull cord was activated, the driver then pulled into Cambridge, however as he was doing so the horror was already unfolding as it is believed a black man in all black clothing went on a stabbing frenzy.

One man who claims he was on the train spoke to reporters at the scene, he mentioned that 12 people have been stabbed with one person in a serious condition after passing out due to blood loss, this person was taken to a nearby hospital, it is currently unknown of the condition of the person or the others that have been stabbed.

Police have arrested 2 people including the man with what is believed to be a large knife, we do not have any further information on the two people who have been arrested at this time of publishing however people on social media are saying “It better not be another migrant”
