British police have provided new details about the victims and suspects following Saturday night’s shooting on board a train in Huntigdon, Cambridgeshire.
Several patients remain in life-threatening condition after the stabbing attack, which left at least 11 injured. Police say the suspects were “born in the United Kingdom” and remained in custody as of Sunday morning.
“This is a shocking incident and my thoughts are with those who were injured and their families,” British Transport Police Superintendent John Loveless said in a statement.
Loveless described the two suspects as “a 32-year-old man, a black British national, and a 35-year-old man, a British national of Caribbean descent”. They were both arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, he said.

Loveless added that nine people were initially reported to have suffered life-threatening injuries, but most have since recovered.
“After evaluation and treatment, four were released and two patients remain in life-threatening condition,” Loveless said.
“We declared a major incident yesterday and Counter Terrorism Police were initially supporting our investigation. However, at this stage there is nothing to suggest this is a terrorist incident. This is a British Transport Police investigation. We are continuing our work to establish the full circumstances and motivation for this incident. At this early stage it would not be appropriate to speculate on the causes of the incident,” he added.
