Teenager held over murder bid in front of commuters

The 19-year-old was seized by police yesterday and officers also recovered a knife.

It came after a massive overnight hunt for the attacker, who had fled the scene on foot and was pictured wielding a large hunting-style blade..

Horrified passengers had called police as they saw two men fighting on the train between Beckenham and Shortlands stations in South East London on Wednesday afternoon.

The victim, who is in his 20s, was airlifted to hospital with multiple stab wounds and was yesterday described as being in a "critical but stable condition".
