Harrowing moment dazed and bloodied train passengers stumble onto the platform after frenzied knife attack – as eyewitness tells how ‘hero of Huntingdon’ man was stabbed in the HEAD as he shielded young girl

Dazed passengers were filmed stumbling off the train with a bloody rag following the frenzied knife attack that sent 11 people to hospital.

Dramatic footage obtained by the Daily Mail shows confused victims walking off the platform, looking around and asking “where are we?”

The footage also appears to feature an ‘absolute hero’ who is said to have used his head to stop a knife-wielding man from stabbing a young girl.

The harrowing video was filmed after a London North Eastern Railway (LNER) train was forced to make an unplanned stop at Huntingdon station following a horrific 15-minute knife attack.

Sirens can be heard blaring loudly as the passenger holds a white cloth on his head, from which red blood has oozed.

While another elderly passenger helps him, a person can be heard shouting ‘Is he okay?’

While the person shooting the video records the injured gentleman walking away, he says ‘this is crazy’ and an officer shouts ‘I’m calling everyone’.

British Transport Police received reports of the incident at 7.42pm yesterday before heading to the scene where armed officers boarded the train and detained two suspects.

Eyewitness Olly Foster said he heard passengers shouting ‘run, run’ on the LNER Doncaster to London King’s Cross train.

Police said that 11 people were treated at the hospital, two of them were still in life-threatening condition, and four were discharged.

Two British citizens of Caribbean origin, one 32-year-old black and the other 35-year-old, are being detained on suspicion of attempted murder.

Officials added today that “there is nothing to indicate this was a terrorist incident.”

Mr Foster said Coach H was listening to Audible on his phone when he started hearing alerts from other passengers.

He told the BBC: ‘A few of us were looking at each other and wondering if this was a joke; Like it was Halloween, they might have been joking.

‘But then you could see in their faces that they were running.

‘There was a girl, she was in a very, very bad situation because the guy actually tried to stab her and one of the old guys, being an absolute hero, blocked it with his head.’

Mr Foster said the heroic gentleman had a wound to his neck and head, which led other passengers to give him their jackets to help stop the blood.

Olly Foster, a passenger on the H bus, described how he was listening to an audiobook when a man suddenly ran past him shouting “Run! Run! There’s a man stabbing literally everyone and everything.”

This is the dramatic moment one of the Huntingdon train stabbing suspects was tasered and arrested by armed police.

Many people praised the ‘heroic old man’ on social media who ‘put his head on the road to save a child’.

User One X said: ‘I pray for the victims of this horror. Praise be to the man who protected the young girl.

‘Thank you to the first responders and those caring for the injured.’

Mr Foster recalled how helpless he and the other passengers felt ‘because they were completely unarmed against an attacker or attackers who we thought were armed’.

‘I’m not sure what traveling by train will feel like from now on. I actually didn’t process them all. It felt really surreal and something I don’t want anyone to experience.

‘Knowing that someone has guns and you have nothing, they’re ready to attack women and I guess children. It wasn’t the England I grew up in. “This was barbaric,” he said.

Wren Chambers, who was also on board, said he heard shouts coming from one or two carriages.

He told the BBC: ‘A minute or two later a man came running downstairs with a very open wound on his arm that was bleeding quite badly and at first I thought it was a Halloween joke but then he started shouting that someone had a knife, that he had been stabbed.

Wren Chambers, who was also on board, told the BBC she heard shouting coming from one or two carriages.

‘Then a few more people came running down the train and I grabbed my bag and jacket, then I got up and followed them towards the train and then all the passengers on the train started moving forward.’

Ms Chambers said she ‘saw someone who was very badly injured and had a lot of blood around them’ and that they appeared to ‘either collapsed or were about to collapse’.

‘People were trying to return the hoodies to heal the wound,’ he added.

The brave traveler got someone to call emergency services.

He said: ‘There was a girl with me near where the first stabbings took place. He said he stepped in front of the man on the ground and was then stabbed in the neck.

‘We all got off the train as calmly as possible, as if there was no point in crowding together. ‘We knew the attacker was likely to be further on the train.’

A passenger named Gavin remembered several people moving on the train during the terror attack and heard one of them say: ‘They’ve got a knife. ‘I was stabbed.’

“They were moving away from the suspect,” he told Sky News.

‘They were extremely bloody. That person was basically on the floor when we walked in; We couldn’t go any further on the train because that person collapsed.

‘We were taken out of the station from the platform and there were a number of stabbed people coming down.’

It was stated that the passengers were then taken off the train and escorted to the platform in Huntingdon.

‘Armed police were pointing at the suspect as he got off the train.’

In the hours after the attack, forensic officers were seen searching for clues on the track on the side of the train, whose lights were still on.

Specialist officers in white suits, including a dog, entered the station as a police drone hovered overhead.

Another member of the force was also seen combing the main station car park with a police dog.

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer described the ‘appalling’ incident near Huntingdon as ‘deeply worrying’.

“My thoughts are with everyone affected and I thank the emergency services for their response,” he said in a statement.

‘Everyone in the area should follow police advice.’

Huntingdon MP Ben Obese-Jecty said he had ‘never seen such a big reaction’ to an incident.
