A 32-year-old British man is being treated as the sole suspect in a stabbing attack on a train in eastern England Saturday evening, police said on Sunday.



Earlier, police said they had arrested a 32-year-old man and a 35-year-old man, both British nationals, but the latter has now been released without further action.



"The 32-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and remains in police custody," police said, adding that a knife was recovered at the scene.



At least 11 people were stabbed on board the train travelling from Doncaster to London before it made an unscheduled stop at Huntingdon station to allow police to intervene.
