Special episode: could the mass train stabbing have been prevented?

from The Crime Agents

As a train guard fights for his life and several other passengers recover in hospital, Andy and Neil bring you the latest on the story which continues to dominate the news: the mass stabbing on a train in Cambridgeshire on Saturday night. They explain that the man charged with carrying out those attacks has also been charged with an attempted murder on a train in London the night before - and discuss whether more could have been done to prevent this tragedy from happening.Neil also breaks down why this incident does not classify as a terrorist attack - and he gives his verdict on whether the police were right to give details of the suspect's ethnicity so soon after he was arrested. Later, they debate whether the idea of having more of a police presence on public transport is a realistic possibility - and whether it would help to stop more attacks like this from happening in the future.
