The injured employee's actions "were nothing short of heroic and undoubtedly saved many people's lives", British Transport Police say

On Saturday, armed officers boarded the train after the 18:25 service was diverted to Huntingdon, following calls by passengers to police at around 19:40 GMT - here's everything we now know

Eyewitnesses have been describing how the attack unfolded - one saw a man with a bloodied arm fleeing down a carriage yelling "they've got a knife" while another saw police Taser a man on a platform

Yes. But this time the British authorities were way more specific. It’s a 35-year-old man.

Nothing more to see. So let’s all move along now.
