2 arrested. I can't imagine how awful this was for the victims

This is really really scary

He says the man with the knife was black and wearing black.

Not sure if this will work, but here's Sky News link for the tweet interviewing a witness:
(2) Sky News on X: "Two men have been arrested by armed officers after multiple people were stabbed on a train. Witnesses told Sky News the stabbings started shortly after the train left Peterborough. Follow our live blog ➡️ https://t.co/nAd0KJcqpc https://t.co/FEIhYSlftl" / X

They have stabbed about 10 people, 2 deaths so far unfortunately.
Where did you read there are two deaths?

just imagine for a moment that one of your loved ones was on that train. You saw it on the news but couldn’t get hold of them. You live in Doncaster. Then you see someone post the above.

think before you type such misinformation.

Thoughts and prayers for the victims and fingers crossed that the suspects are not brown. The UK seems like a tinderbox nowadays

Jesus fucking Christ!! And you lot have the vote. Unbelievable

I felt more worried in the 70's and 80's with IRA attacks, but I was younger then and less able to rationalise the stuff I was hearing on the news.

I was born in the 80s but was never that bothered about the threat then unless we were visiting family in NI which was a different ball game.

@spoonbillstretford yes 2017 was a bad year but the Manchester Arena attack did shake me & the foiled plot 2 yrs ago to bomb a hospital also gave me pause for thought. The authorities can't stop every attack & the threat has been substantial for a long time.

The perpetrators are generally those who are in the country of origin, which is the whole reason why people have to flee their countries to escape persecution. I understand your concern about not wanting evil people to come here, but there are evil people everywhere and no evidence to suggest that there are more evil people among refugee populations. We might however think more about what more we can do to prevent and deter criminal behaviour among the current UK population.

He said one was black and also wearing black

Er you ought to see their comments on other posts.
The way they are going it won’t be long before they are banned.

He did but he didn’t see it first hand, he asked someone. I think it’s irresponsible to repeat unreliable information.

That doesn’t necessarily mean complexion, the witness could have been describing the perpetrator as ‘black’ in a more descriptive sense as in evil or scary.

@awakeandasleep Don't be so utterly foolish. The Americans have that and their murder rate is 10 times ours, per head of population.

More knives, more guns means more dead.

I'm stunned anyone could suggest anything so silly

My two penneth is that this will turn out to be a home-grown terror attack. Those poor people trapped on the train! Government probably trying to figure out how to tell us without mentioning the religion of the attackers.

Eyewitness called Oliver Foster currently being interviewed on BBC news. This is his account on Twitter

He didn't see them stab anyone but said he saw him be tasered and holding a knife up

This is a parody account, right? Right?? 😩

Laughable if it wasn’t so terrifying. That’s your first thought? Someone got on in Peterborough which has a large Muslim population and you think it’s football related. Give your head a good shake love. Police not releasing names of who’ve they arrested. If it were two white football hooligans they’d say so. Counter terrorism officers involved. Need I say more…

@Lalgarh that sounds horrific & potentially attacking dc.

He could have but it certainly didn't sound that way.

This isn't my opinion! I was merely sharing what the man said as someone had asked did they say black or wearing black. He said both. Whether reliable or not I'm not saying anything that the man on sky news didn't just say live on air so easy to look up

Again. Not MY opinion. Just what was on the TV

Oh FFS.

That usage of black is absolutely Shakespearean. It is not current at all.

I speak with years of trying to explain to students that "black" had many layers of meaning, not all primary related to, though sometimes applied to Black people.

The police do seem to have mobilised very quickly, presumably they are in high alert.

You can't be real person. If you are, you're an absolute moron and should get some help. First you tried to blame Newcastle supporters based on nothing, and now this nonsense. Its farcical.

They might have won, but they will.not get in again. They've been awful.

He was talking to an armed police officer - not just a random -and he later stated that just just after that on the interview he says that he saw the man at the "back of the station, walking calmly. As the Police were coming through - armed police. I said I think that's the guy and essentially as they got closer to him I started shouting get down, get down. He then was waving a knife, quite a large knife, and then they detained him. I think it was a taser that got him"
