Ten people are in hospital, with nine believed to have life-threatening injuries, after a stabbing attack on a train in Cambridgeshire.

Police said two people had been arrested in connection with the attack on Saturday evening after a "significant" number of officers were called to Huntingdon Station, where the train had made an unscheduled stop.

Authorities have not commented on the identities of those injured or arrested, or any potential motive.

British Transport Police (BTP) have declared a "major incident" and are investigating the stabbing with support from counter-terrorism officers.

At 19:42 on Saturday, British Transport Police (BTP) received reports of multiple stabbings aboard the 18:25 LNER service from Doncaster to King's Cross.

BTP have confirmed to the BBC that those responding to the mass stabbing at one point declared "Plato", which is the national code word used by police and emergency services when responding to a "marauding terror attack".

This declaration was later rescinded, police said.

After boarding the train at Huntingdon, armed officers arrested two people, who have been taken to police custody.

Chief Superintendent Chris Casey called the stabbing attack a "shocking incident", but said he would not speculate on any details.

"It could take some time before we are in a position to confirm anything further," the chief superintendent said, before thanking the public for their "patience and co-operation".

Total media blackout on any description of the assailants tells us all we need to know. Thoughts are with the victims.

Could not agree more.

They’re busy worrying about gun bans yet they have surging knife violence.

The British Transport Police have held a press conference, confirming the two suspects arrested following the Huntingdon train attack were British nationals.

A 32-year-old black British national and a 35-year-old British national of Caribbean descent were arrested on suspicion of attempted murder.

Nine people were initially thought to have suffered injuries after the stabbing in Cambridgeshire, which Sir Keir Starmer described as "deeply concerning".

Four have now been discharged from hospital; however, two patients remain in a life-threatening condition.

Peterborough is a few miles up the road, it's where I used to buy my crack. Loads of gang stuff going on.

Having happened in the UK, I thought it was going to be [muslims].

UK is finished. People can't even ride the train without fear of being stabbed.
