HUNTINGDON, England (Reuters) -British police said on Sunday that a knife attack on a train was not being treated as a terrorist incident and two British men had been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder.
Officer John Loveless said of the nine people who were treated for life-threatening injuries on Saturday, four had been released from hospital and two remained with life-threatening injuries.
“Counter-terrorism policing were initially supporting our investigation. However, at this stage, there is nothing to suggest that this is a terrorist incident,” Loveless told a news conference.
He said the men arrested were a 32 year-old Black British national and a 35 year-old British national of Caribbean descent.
