UK police say stabbings not an act of terror, release one of two men arrested

London train stabbing: Heroic staff member saved lives as killer on the loose.

Two men were arrested in connection with a mass stabbing attack that took place on a London-bound train yesterday evening. In a dramatic turn of events, one of the suspects was released without charge, leaving authorities to focus on the remaining suspect, who is now in custody on suspicion of attempted murder.

The investigation has concluded that the stabbings are not an act of terror, and police have expressed confidence that they will not be looking for anyone else in connection with the incident. The motive behind the attack remains unknown, but specialists detectives are working to uncover the background of the suspect and the events leading up to the attack.

One heroic member of railway staff is being hailed as a hero after bravely intervening during the attack, saving several lives in the process. The staff member, who has not been named, was said to have acted with "exceptional bravery" and deserves credit for their actions.

The attack took place on Saturday evening when passengers reported scenes of panic and chaos on the train. Bloodied and confused passengers spilled out of the train at Huntingdon as dozens of police waited, some armed. A knife was recovered by officers at the scene.

Six people remain in hospital, with one person in a life-threatening condition. Police said they are doing everything possible to support those affected by the attack.

In response to the incident, King Charles III and his wife Queen Camilla sent their sympathies and thoughts to those affected, describing themselves as "truly appalled and shocked" by the news of the knife attack.
 
๐Ÿค• this is so sad, can you imagine being on that train and seeing people getting stabbed? it's like something out of a movie or a horror story. but i'm just glad there was someone who stepped in to stop it, even if they got hurt too ๐Ÿ™. the fact that it wasn't a terrorist attack makes me feel slightly better, but at the same time, you're still left wondering what could've triggered this guy to go on such a rampage? and poor victims who are still stuck in hospital... sending all my thoughts and vibes to them ๐Ÿ’•.
 
๐Ÿ˜• I'm so relieved that no one died in this horrific attack... it's a miracle that the train staff intervened when they did ๐Ÿ™. I can only imagine how scary that must've been for everyone on board ๐Ÿšซ. It's amazing what ordinary people can do in extraordinary circumstances ๐Ÿ’ช. I hope the person who was stabbed isn't doing too badly, and my thoughts are with all the victims and their families โค๏ธ. The police have done a great job in catching the suspects, but it's not over yet... let's keep our fingers crossed that justice is served soon ๐Ÿคž
 
Ugh, this just gets worse and worse ๐Ÿค•. Like, what's with these knives on trains now? Can't we have a peaceful commute for once?! ๐Ÿ˜’ And now there's this one heroic staff member who had to deal with all that blood and chaos... poor guy ๐Ÿ’”. I mean, I guess it's good he saved some lives or whatever, but seriously, how many people did he just save from getting stabbed? ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ It's not like the perps are gonna get charged for attempted murder and everything is gonna be okay... what a crock ๐Ÿšซ. And don't even get me started on the police investigation โ€“ "not an act of terror"? Yeah, right ๐Ÿ™„.
 
๐Ÿš‚๐Ÿ’ฅ just saw this on twitter and i'm still reeling ๐Ÿ˜ฒ 6 people in hospital, one life threatening condition ๐Ÿค• that's crazy anyone know what was going on before the stabbing happened? ๐Ÿค” also, did you see the pic of the train with all the police outside? it looks like a war zone ๐Ÿ’ฅ๐Ÿšจ stats say this is the 3rd major attack in london in the past month ๐Ÿ“Š 2.4 million people work in transport in london ๐Ÿš‚ 1 in 10 commuters are from overseas ๐ŸŒŽ what's going on here? ๐Ÿค” also, can we talk about how heroic that train staff member was? ๐Ÿ’ช they saved lives! ๐Ÿ‘ stats say only 17% of train staff have received mental health training ๐Ÿค i'm all for more support for mental health but is it just a matter of awareness? ๐Ÿค” did u see the pic of the knife recovered from the scene? ๐Ÿด 12 cm long, that's some serious business ๐Ÿ˜ฑ
 
๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ‘ฎโ€โ™‚๏ธ seriously can't believe this is happening in london again... like what's going on with these trains? first it's a stabbing and now who knows what other crap will happen? ๐Ÿ’” i mean we need to get some security tightened up ASAP. and btw why is the staff member not named? come on give them some recognition ๐Ÿ™Œ i'm just glad they were able to stop the attack from getting any worse... still can't believe the state of our trains tho. ๐Ÿšซ๐Ÿ˜ก
 
๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ’” This London train stabbing is such a tragic event! I'm so relieved that there were no more casualties than there were, thankfully. The heroic staff member who intervened is honestly the real MVP ๐Ÿ™Œ - can you imagine what could've happened if they hadn't stepped in? It's crazy to think about how quickly things escalated from chaos on the train to multiple people being stabbed. I do hope the detectives are able to figure out a motive for this, though - it just doesn't feel right that this was just a random act of violence ๐Ÿ’”๐Ÿ˜•
