British Transport Police (BTP) yesterday said two people remained in a life-threatening condition, following the bloody rampage on a high-speed train on Saturday evening.

Superintendent John Loveless said one suspect is a black British national and the other is a British national of Caribbean descent. Both men, aged 32 and 35, were born in the UK. The two suspects were being held in separate police stations for questioning, Mr Loveless added.

The force declared a major incident and said the pair were arrested after Saturday’s 6.25pm train service from Doncaster to London King’s Cross was stopped at Huntingdon station.
