Three people were stabbed in an apparent attack on New Year’s Eve at a British train station, the police said.

In a statement, the British Transport Police said officers received a call at 8:52 p.m. about “a man wielding a knife” at the Manchester Victoria train station, in Northern England.

They said they had detained a suspect.

One man and one woman, both in their 50s, were taken to the hospital with knife injuries, and an officer was being treated for a stab wound to the shoulder, the authorities said.

The man suffered injuries to his abdomen, and the women to her face and abdomen. The police said the injuries were “serious but not thought to be life-threatening.”
