How to tune into Sport Nation'Shocked': Nottingham Forest to provide support for victims of mass train stabbing
SEN • November 3rd, 2025 9:21 am
Nottingham Forest will provide financial support for the people injured in the horrible Huntingdon train stabbings.
A devastating event occurred on a London-bound train on Saturday night UK time as Forest fans headed home following the 2-2 draw with Manchester United at Old Trafford.
Almost a dozen people on a Doncaster train bound for London Kings Cross were stabbed.
Two men, both British nationals, were arrested by police, with one later released.
It is now believed there is a sole suspect - a 32-year-old man - who is believed to have boarded the train at Peterborough approximately 10 minutes prior to the attack being called in.
A total of 11 people were injured. Nine were treated in hospital for life-threatening injuries, four of whom have been released. Two further remain in a life-threatening condition including one heroic train staff member.
Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis has revealed that the club will aid and support those impacted by the attack which is not believed to be a terror attack.
Read the club statement below:
Nottingham Forest Football Club wishes to express its deepest concern and heartfelt sympathy to all those affected by the shocking attack on an LNER train bound for London yesterday evening.
Many of our London-based supporters were travelling home on that train following our match at the City Ground, and our thoughts are very much with everyone caught up in such a distressing incident.
The Club is aware that many individuals demonstrated extraordinary bravery which undoubtedly helped prevent even greater harm. The entire Nottingham Forest family stands firmly behind them as they recover from the events of yesterday.
Evangelos Marinakis, Nottingham Forest’s owner, said:
“Everyone at Nottingham Forest is shocked and deeply saddened by what happened. The courage and selflessness shown by our supporters on that train represents the very best of humanity and the very best of our club’s community.
“We will make sure any supporter caught up in this incident receives whatever financial support they require to enable them to access the best possible medical care as they recover. Our thoughts and prayers are with all those affected.”
