Police say he remains in custody this morning (Thursday 11 September) as detectives continue to investigate.
Several cordons are still in place around the transport hub.
A 42-year-old man and a 14-year-old boy are being treated in hospital.
Both have serious injuries but their conditions are not thought to be life-threatening.
A teenage girl arrested on suspicion of helping an offender has been questioned and released on bail.
