Train Stabbing Injures 11, Suspect Linked to Mental Health Issues Arrested

A 32-year-old black British man from Peterborough is in custody on suspicion of attempted murder after stabbing 11 passengers during a 14-minute rampage on a train traveling from Doncaster to London King's Cross. The attack began shortly after the train departed Peterborough station, with the suspect moving through carriages wielding a knife and ominously proclaiming, "The devil is not going to win." The train made an emergency stop at Huntingdon station due to the quick response of the driver, where police tasered and arrested the attacker. Passengers described scenes of chaos and terror, with some locking themselves in lavatories and others trying to stem the bleeding of the injured. Authorities have ruled out terrorism as a motive but confirmed that the suspect had a history of mental health issues and was known to law enforcement. A heroic railway worker intervened during the attack and is now fighting for his life because of his actions that likely saved many lives.
