A 19-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after a man was stabbed on a train in south London.
The incident happened between Beckenham Junction and Shortlands train stations on Wednesday.
Video taken on the train where the attack occurred and shared on social media shows a man wearing a black hooded jacket, black pants and a face mask holding a large blade, while bystanders can be heard telling him to stop.
British Transport Police (BTP) attended the scene along with the London Ambulance Service and the Metropolitan Police following reports of a fight between two men.
The victim, who is in his 20s, was taken to hospital and is in a “critical but stable condition,” the BTP said.
A knife used to supplement the force was also recovered.
Chief Constable Darren Malpass said: “We understand the public’s concerns about this incident and our detectives have been working tirelessly to investigate.
“I hope this arrest will bring some comfort to people on the rail network.
“High visibility patrols will continue in the area and across the network as a visible reassurance to the traveling public.”
He added: “We urge any witnesses who have not yet been contacted to do so as soon as possible.”
