Intense video captures the moment a train passenger cried out, “it’s not me,” as police officers mistakenly tasered him, thinking he was the Huntingdon knife attacker.

Initially, authorities arrested two British nationals on suspicion of attempted murder on Saturday night, following an incident where 11 individuals were injured by a knife-wielding assailant on the LNER train traveling from Doncaster to King’s Cross.

After further investigation, a 35-year-old man has been released with no charges, while a 32-year-old remains the primary suspect in the case.

The startling footage reveals the innocent man walking along the platform at Huntingdon—where the train had been rerouted—before being unexpectedly subdued with a taser by police.

Officers can be heard shouting “get down, get down” at the passenger, who then collapses to the ground, appearing to cry out in distress.

He then shouts, ‘it’s not me, it’s not me’ several times as he lies face-down on the ground and is put in handcuffs. 

Police revealed 11 people were treated in hospital and one remained in a life-threatening condition on Sunday night. 

Investigators at one point declared Code Plato, a word used by emergency services when responding to a ‘marauding terror attack’, but police on Sunday said there was ‘nothing to suggest this is a terrorist incident’.

Other footage shows a knifeman in the moments immediately following the stabbings after the train stopped at Huntingdon.

He is filmed walking along a platform at the station, where the train was not scheduled to stop but was brought to an emergency halt as a result of the incident.

Blood-curdling screams are heard as the man dressed all in black with a black hat vaults a fence, after terrified passengers were seen sprinting down the platform to escape. 

The video comes after updates on the ongoing investigation were provided by police, while there were pledges of ramped-up patrols across rail networks. 

Dazed passengers were also filmed stumbling off a train clutching blood-stained cloth in striking footage obtained by the Mail – with confused victims looking around themselves asking ‘where are we’ while trundling suitcases off the platform. 

Sirens can be heard blaring as the passenger holds a white rag to his head, with crimson-coloured blood seeping through. 

He is assisted by another elderly passenger while one person can be heard shouting, ‘Is he okay?’. 

An attendant cries, ‘Everyone out’, while the person filming says, ‘That’s mad’, as he records the injured gentleman walking away.

Witnesses have described the traumatic scenes – with passenger Olly Foster, who was in coach H, saying how he was listening to an audiobook when a man ‘suddenly ran past screaming, ‘Run! Run! There’s a guy stabbing literally everyone and everything’.

Mr Foster said he and some other travellers thought it was a ‘joke’ or a ‘Halloween prank’ at first but ‘quickly realised they were serious’ by the look on their face.

He explained how his hand was ‘covered in blood’ after he put it on a chair as he ran through the carriage.

‘There was blood on the top of countless chairs, coming from two of the guys who had been severely stabbed ahead of me,’ he said.

‘A young girl was distraught as the attacker tried to stab her, but a hero of an older man got in the way taking a gash on his forehead and I think another on his neck.’

Mr Foster and other horrified passengers ran to the end of the short train and queued up where he and a few others tried to find a weapon to defend themselves with.
