Man faces 11 attempted murder charges after UK train mass stabbings

A 32-year-old man has been charged with multiple counts of attempted murder following a major incident on a train in Cambridgeshire on Saturday evening.

Anthony Williams, of Langford Road, Peterborough, is accused of 10 counts of attempted murder, one count of actual bodily harm (ABH), and one count of possessing a bladed article in connection with the incident at Huntingdon station on November 1.

British Transport Police, on its website on Monday, said Williams has also been charged with an additional count of attempted murder and possession of a bladed article in connection with a separate incident at Pontoon Dock DLR station in east London on the same day.

He is due to appear at Peterborough Magistrates’ Court this morning ( November 3).

Deputy Chief Constable Stuart Cundy said, “The criminal investigation and support for the victims is a priority for British Transport Police.”

He added: “Our investigation is also looking at other possible linked offences. Following the charges authorised by the Crown Prosecution Service I would stress the importance of not saying or publishing anything which might jeopardise or prejudice ongoing criminal proceedings, or the integrity of the investigation.”

Police have not released further details about the victims or the circumstances of the incidents but say enquiries are ongoing.
