Witnesses described a scene of terror, with screams of "They've got a knife, run!" as passengers fled cars and barricaded doors, some jumping between carriages to escape. The 42-year-old suspect, known to police for minor offences, was tasered and arrested at the scene without resistance.

British Transport Police classified the incident as a possible terror-related event, deploying counter-terrorism units and boosting patrols in the area. No motive has been confirmed, but the attack's randomness has heightened fears on the busy commuter line.
