Cambridgeshire Police Federation has expressed its shock and sadness following the events that unfolded yesterday evening (Saturday 1 November) involving multiple stabbings on a train.
Branch Chair Liz Groom says thoughts are with the victims, their families, and all those affected by this horrific incident, including many Federation members.
Police received reports of multiple stabbings aboard the 6.25pm LNER service from Doncaster to King’s Cross. Officers immediately attended Huntingdon Station alongside paramedics.
Armed police from Cambridgeshire arrested two people in connection to the incident.
Liz Groom, chair of Cambridgeshire Police Federation, said: “Everyone here in Cambridgeshire is shocked and saddened following last night’s horrific events.
“Our thoughts are with all those injured in last night’s incident, as well as their loved ones.
“Many of our members responded swiftly and courageously in an extremely dangerous and unpredictable situation, demonstrating professionalism and bravery that the public rightly expects from our Police Force.
“This was a fast-moving and traumatic event. I am in no doubt that the actions taken by all emergency service workers involved last night helped to prevent further harm.”
Liz continued: "As always, Cambridgeshire Police Federation’s priority will be to support colleagues who attended the scene, and those who worked tirelessly throughout the evening and night assisting with the incident.
“Of course, we must not forget those colleagues who continued to work round the clock - whether on the frontline or behind the scenes - to ensure the rest of Cambridgeshire was policed efficiently and effectively.”
Members are reminded that the Federation is always here to support them. Those needing support should contact their local Federation representative as soon as possible.
