The heroic bravery of everyday Britons has been praised in the aftermath of the gruesome train attack on Saturday evening.
On Sunday morning in the wake of the attack, Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Mayor Paul Bristow lauded “everyday people doing extraordinary things”.
He further paid tribute to the gentleman who reportedly sheltered a young girl from the Cambridgeshire train stabbings suspect.
It is believed that, on Saturday night, a man with a large knife went on a bloody rampage through the high-speed train after it departed Peterborough station in Cambridgeshire.
The train stopped at the Cambridgeshire station, where armed police were deployed within minutes following reports of the attack.
Ten individuals sustained injuries and were subsequently taken to hospital, while two continue to fight for their lives.
Delivering an update, superintendent John Loveless said: “I would like to thank the public personally for their patience and their cooperation yesterday evening, which is already greatly assisted our investigation through the help the public attended, as well as the multi-agency response partners from colleagues in other blue light services.
“I’d like to extend my thanks to our colleagues within Cambridgeshire Police, the East of England Ambulance Service, Cambridgeshire Fire and Rescue Service and counter-terrorism policing.”
