A knife attack on a train in the United Kingdom on Saturday, November 1, left ten people injured, with two remaining in critical condition as of Sunday morning. British Transport Police have arrested two men – a 32-year-old Black man of British nationality, and a 35-year-old man of British and Caribbean origin – on suspicion of attempted murder.
Authorities have stated that, at this stage, there is nothing to suggest the incident was a terrorist act, though an inquiry involving anti-terrorism police is underway to determine the motives behind the attack. Nine of the ten injured were initially in very serious condition; four have since been discharged from the hospital, but the vital prognosis of two remains compromised.King Charles III has expressed being “absolutely horrified and shocked” by the event. Witnesses reported shouting “Run away! There’s a guy stabbing everyone” during the attack, which occurred on a train traveling towards London.
