The video, filmed on a bridge on Brampton Road overlooking Huntingdon’s railway station, shows a stationary train while a number of police officers run down the platform.
We’ve just received a statement from Cambridge Police, who confirm that at 19:39 local time they received reports that multiple people had been stabbed on a train.
“Armed officers attended and the train was stopped at Huntingdon, where two men were arrested. A number of people have been taken to hospital,” the statement says.
“The incident remains ongoing, and the A1307 has been closed as you approach the town centre.”
