Sorry if this is a repost, according to news I've seen 2 marines heard him loading the AK47 in the toilet and managed to subdue him but not before he had injured them and another passenger, that could have been dreadful.

Whether it was incredible luck that the marines were on the train and then happened to be near him as he was loading the gun I don't know, but a busy train + nutter and fully loaded AK47 would have been carnage.

Whatever the reason for them being there they saved the day, hope they all pull through as one is reported as badly injured.
