Petitions have been launched to thank the heroes who fought back against the Huntingdon train attacker without a thought for their own safety. ‌

Two petitions have been launched online urging gongs for two of the men who stepped in during terrifying scenes aboard the LNER train from Doncaster to London when a crazed knifeman went on the attack. ‌
