One person has been arrested after armed police were called

The British Transport Police have confirmed that ten people were initially taken to hospital, with one more self-presenting at hospital later in the evening.

Nine people were believed to be in a life-threatening condition, five of whom have now been discharged.

Supt John Loveless said: "At this stage, there is nothing to suggest that this is a terrorist incident."

He added: "At this stage, it would not be appropriate to speculate on the cause of this incident."

Only one person is being held as a suspect the British Transport Police confirmed last night (Sunday, 2 November).

Two men were initially arrested, however, police confirmed that only a 32-year-old man is being held in custody while a 35-year-old man who had been arrested has since been released.
