A shocking incident unfolded on a UK train, leaving 11 people injured, two of them critically, after a mass stabbing attack. The suspect, who was dressed entirely in black, was apprehended by police at Huntingdon train station in eastern England on Saturday night. The arrest was captured on video by a local taxi driver, Viorel Turturica, who reported the suspect repeatedly yelling “kill me, kill me, kill me.”
The video, which was later shared with the Sun, shows the suspect being tackled to the ground on the train platform by several armed officers and a police dog. As the suspect seemingly resists arrest, the sound of a Taser can be heard. Officers can be heard shouting commands such as “Get him in a hold!” and “Give me your hands now,” while another officer calls for handcuffs.
The suspect was arrested for attempted murder following the attack on a London North Eastern Railway (LNER) train. The train, which was en route from Doncaster in northern England to London’s King’s Cross station, was halted at Huntingdon after the police and ambulance services received calls about a mass stabbing onboard.
Turturica, who was waiting for a passenger at Huntingdon station, witnessed the chaos unfold. He described seeing people fleeing the station in panic, followed by a man dressed in black wielding a large kitchen knife. The police arrived shortly after, and Turturica reported hearing the suspect shouting “kill me, kill me, kill me” at the officers. The police then used a Taser on the suspect, and once he was subdued, they ordered him to drop his weapon. It was at this point that Turturica began recording the incident.
The incident has left the local community in shock, and an investigation is currently underway to determine the motive behind the attack. The suspect is in custody, and the victims are receiving medical attention. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the dangers that can unfold in public spaces, and the bravery of law enforcement officers who risk their lives to protect the public.
