Dad who shielded passengers in train attack pleads for help
Raza Aslam, aged 44, was one of 11 people hospitalized after a mass stabbing on a train from Doncaster to London King's Cross on November 1, 2025, which was diverted to Huntingdon.
Raza intervened by shielding other passengers during the attack and sustained a severe knife injury that severed the radial nerve in his left arm.
Due to his arm injury, Raza cannot return to work as his left arm has limited use, and he suffers from severe PTSD and nightmares.
Raza's daughter, Maryam, created a GoFundMe page to raise funds to help him recover and rebuild his life after the attack.
