'Train stab horror' and 'Devil not going to win'

Most papers lead on the aftermath of the Saturday night stabbing attack on a train from Doncaster to London. The knifeman told police to "kill me" after leaving the train where he stabbed 11 people, the Sun reports. Passengers tell the paper he stabbed "anyone he could" in the attack, before being Tasered by police officers.

The attacker told a passenger that "the devil is not going to win" during the rampage, the Daily Mail reports.

A passenger of the train tells the Daily Star that she was spared by the knifeman during the "bloodbath". The paper is one of several others to also report that the suspect shouted "the devil won't win".

"Terror on the tracks", is the headline for the Daily Mirror, which also reports on a passenger who was spared by the attacker. He stood over Dayna Arnold, 48, carrying a blade, but carried on after she said: "Please don't kill me."

Passengers initially thought the attack was a Halloween prank, leads the Daily Telegraph, which also reports that eyewitnesses said the scene was "like something from a film". A 32-year-old British national is in custody on suspicion of attempted murder.

The Guardian reports a "heroic" rail worker who intervened in the attack to defend passengers is "fighting for his life". Witnesses describe to the paper a "terrifying" 14 minutes during which "bloodied stabbing victims" ran through train carriages.

The "hero" rail worker "single-handedly confronted the Huntingdon train knifeman", writes the Daily Express, which also describes the incident as "one of the UK's most shocking knife attacks".

The suspected attacker was not known to counterterrorism officers or security services, though police say there is no suggestion the incident was an act of terrorism, according to the Times.

Extra police officers will be deployed across the rail network this week - especially at major hubs like London, Birmingham, York, Leeds and Manchester - the i Paper reports.

Forensic teams wait on the Huntingdon station platform where the train made an unscheduled emergency stop in the front page photo for the Independent.

The train attack features on the front page of the Financial Times, but the paper leads on concerns among city bosses that the minimum wage catching up with graduate starting salaries could negatively impact hiring. The warning comes as the chancellor is expected to announce a 4% increase to the hourly minimum wage in the Budget.

"Risky High St baby scans" is the lead for the Metro, which reports on "unsafe" private ultrasound clinics that have sprung up in shopping centres, town centre shops and industrial estates. In one case, a blood clot was "wrongly identified as a malformed foetus", after which the mother was advised to have an induced miscarriage, even though the baby was healthy.

Many of the papers describe how the man who stabbed 11 people on a train in Cambridgeshire on Saturday night told one passenger, "the Devil's not going to win," as she pleaded with him not to kill her. The Daily Mirror says 48-year-old Dayna Arnold was cowering on the floor as she begged for her life. The Daily Telegraph reports that "something changed" in the attacker's eyes before he uttered the statement. The Sun says witnesses described him as looking "possessed" as he swaggered down the platform, after leaving the train.

The Times and the Guardian lead their coverage by praising the heroic rail worker, who is in a fight for his life, after he saved many other passengers. The Telegraph highlights how the quick actions of the driver also saved passengers. The Daily Express says we should remember that "while such atrocities reveal the very worst of humanity, they are also met by the very best." The Daily Mail sums up the attack with the strap-line: "horror and heroism on the 6.25."

The Daily Mail says the Chancellor Rachel Reeves will spare working people from the worst of what it calls her "tax assault" in the Budget. But it notes that she'll describe "working people" as those earning less than £45,000 per year, which, the paper says, will come as a surprise to many teachers, train drivers and tradespeople. The Times warns the Treasury that it cannot rely on tax rises alone to fill its fiscal hole; to shrink away from cuts to the ballooning welfare bill, it suggests, would be a grave error. The Guardian says Reeves is being advised not to cut VAT on electricity bills, as a "fast and simple" way to cut cost of living pressures. The paper warns this could result in a giveaway to richer homeowners, while undermining the UK's climate commitments.

Many papers continue to ruminate on the position of Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, with the Times suggesting that after losing his final military rank of vice-admiral, he might also be stripped of his campaign medal from the Falklands conflict. The Daily Mail suggests he could even lose his car registration plates. He he was often seen driving Range Rovers bearing the initials DOY - a reference to one of his former titles, the Duke of York. "Another day, another humiliation," states the Daily Star.
