‘This is a shocking incident’ – policepublished at 01:07 GMT
In an update from British Transport Police, Chief Superintendent Chris Casey called the stabbing attack a “shocking incident”, but said he was unable to speculate on the cause.
“Our response is ongoing at the station and will be for some time,” he said, adding that trains were not currently running in the area and road closures would continue.
As we reported earlier, ten people have been taken to hospital, with nine of those patients suffering “life-threatening injuries”.
Police said that they have declared a “major incident” and the investigation is being supported by counter-terrorism officers as they work to establish a motive.
“It could take some time before we are in a position to confirm anything further,” the chief superintendent said, before thanking the public for their “patience and co-operation”.
