  • This is The Guardian.

  • This afternoon, a horrifying mass stabbing on a London bound train.

  • The train from Doncaster was packed with people heading out on a Saturday night,

  • the day after Halloween.

  • About an hour from London, it was suddenly clear that something terrible was unfolding.

  • Dice suddenly run past going, run, run.

  • There's a guy stabbing literally everyone and everything.

  • At first, there was a few of us kind of looking at each other like thinking it was a joke,

  • like it's Halloween, I'd be pranking.

  • And then I look at my hand and it's covered in blood and then I look at the chair and there's blood all over the chairs and I'm thinking,

  • okay, this is pretty serious.

  • The train made an emergency stop at Huntingdon Station in Cambridgeshire where emergency services were able to board and the grim reality of a mass stabbing became clear.

  • Ten people are in hospital,

  • nine with life-threatening injuries after a mass stabbing on a train in Cambridgeshire on Saturday evening.

  • A 32-year-old man has been charged with ten counts of attempted murder and police are investigating

  • if he could be linked to three other knife attacks.

  • on the same weekend.

  • From The Guardian, I'm Lucy Hoff.

  • Today in Focus Extra, what we know about the shocking knife attack on a Cambridgeshire train.
