The train made an unscheduled stop at\u00a0UK\u2019s\u00a0Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire platform, where passengers and assailants were met by dozens of emergency service workers to remedy the upsetting situation.<\/p>\n<p>Armed police took down the suspect, according to reports, using a taser. They also arrested two men who looked to be in their 30s. However, one was reportedly released soon after with no charges.<\/p>\n<p>11 people were wounded in the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.newsner.com\/tag\/tragedy\/\">tragic event<\/a>\u00a0and required treatment. 9 of the 11 were considered to be in critical condition according to officials.<\/p>\n<p>On Sunday, November 2, authorities confirmed one person who is thought to be an employee of the rail system and attempted to intervene in the attack was still in critical condition.<\/p>\n<p>Eyewitness accounts and survivors\u2019 stories are now emerging about the harrowing events of the evening.
