A knifeman is on the run after a passenger was stabbed to death on board a train to London in front of horrified travellers this afternoon.
Witnesses say the man in his 50s was knifed in the neck following a scuffle with another passenger who then fled into the surrounding Clandon area - just one stop into the Surrey to London journey.
Detectives have launched a murder investigation after the bloody attack on the 12.58 service from Guildford to Waterloo and are still searching for the killer.
One woman passenger, who asked not to be named, said: 'There was a lot of blood everywhere in the carriage. I don't think the poor chap stood a chance.
'The police who were here first started to give him CPR but it was apparently too late to save him and he died while the train was in the station.'

A passenger has been stabbed to death on board a train to London in front of horrified travellers this afternoon. Detectives have launched a murder enquiry after the man in his 50s was knifed once in the neck on the 12.58pm service travelling from Guildford to Waterloo
Despite desperate attempts from paramedics the man died at the scene, while the attacker is thought to have got off the train fled into the surrounding Clandon area - just one stop into the Surrey to London journey (pictured is Horsley Station, where the train pulled in)
Police are now in the area, attempting to identify and trace the man responsible for this assault.
Officers have sealed off Clandon as the manhunt for the killer continued.
Dozens of commuters cars were stranded in the car park at the Surrey station with owners told they would have to remain parked until forensic teams had completed their investigation.
Earlier a police helicopter had hovered over the surrounding countryside as it scoured farmland and nearby National Trust property of Clandon Park.
The killer would have had a choice of walking either towards the village of Send or towards East Clandon on leaving the station.

Drinkers at the Onslow Arms, about a quarter of a mile from the Clandon station, said they heard the helicopter hovering overhead during the afternoon.
‘There were lot of police cars racing along the road and word soon went round someone had been stabbed, said one of the pub regulars.
'There’s hardly any serious crime round here so everyone took notice’
No arrests have been made yet and it is not known if the two men were known to one another.
Another witness praised the efforts of the railway staff in the frenzied aftermath of the attack.
Natalie Jones tweeted: 'I was on this train. How those guards and especially the train driver went into action was nothing short of incredible.'
A Home Office pathologist was expected to carry out a post mortem examination on the man's body to establish the exact cause of his death and the Surrey coroner was notified of the death.

It is understood the murder happened after two men became involved in a scuffle following a dispute. Witnesses said that punches were thrown and the victim was then stabbed in the neck. The station remains cordoned off while police, including forensic officers, investigate

'Officers from BTP are with the family and have deployed a specially trained family liaison officer to support them through this difficult time.
'We know that this was an incredibly frightening incident for passengers travelling on the train.

'Passengers and members of the public can expect to see an increased presence by BTP and Surrey Police officers at Horsley and Clandon as our enquiries continue.
'We would advise anyone in the local area who sees anyone they think maybe the suspect to contact 999 immediately.'
