Anthony Williams, 32, is charged over Huntingdon knife attack rampage that left 11 people injured

A 32-year-old man has been charged with ten counts of attempted murder following the Huntingdon train attack.

Anthony Williams, 32, of Peterborough, is also charged with one count of causing actual bodily harm and one count of possession of a bladed instrument following the attack on Saturday night.

Williams was also charged with a further charge of attempted murder in connection with an incident in London, as well as a charge of possession of a bladed article.

The second incident is said to have occurred at Pontoon Dock station on the capital’s Docklands Light Railway (DLR) in the early hours of the same day.

Police were called to DLR station shortly after 12.45pm on 1 November. It is understood that one victim was allegedly injured in the face.

Deputy Chief Constable Stuart Cundy said: ‘Criminal investigation and victim support is a priority for British Transport Police. Our investigation is also examining other possible related crimes.

‘In line with the charges authorized by the Crown Prosecution Service, I would like to emphasize the importance of not saying or publishing anything that could compromise or undermine ongoing criminal proceedings or the integrity of the investigation.’

Saturday’s attack took place on the 6.25 LNER service from Doncaster to London Kings Cross and saw brave train staff and passengers intervene to stop the alleged attacker as he headed towards the train with a knife.

The suspect is understood to have boarded the train in Peterborough before allegedly attacking the moving train.

To protect themselves, passengers ran through the carriages, barricading themselves behind the shutters of the toilets and the shop in the buffet carriage.

Driver Andrew Johnson, a Second Gulf War veteran, then worked frantically with Network Rail staff to arrange for LNER Azuma to make an emergency stop at Huntingdon station in Cambridgeshire.

The unflappable railway staff then hurriedly ushered the passengers off the platform, with the suspect following closely behind.

While 9 of the 11 injured people are struggling to survive, 5 people were discharged as of last night.

An LNER worker in the cafe suffered the most serious injuries while trying to protect other passengers from the attacker.

Transport Minister Heidi Alexander said today the situation was ‘critical but stable’.

He said: ‘There are people alive today because of his actions and his courage. ‘He went to do his job and left the job a hero.’

It is understood that a Nottingham Forest fan returning home after a match against Manchester United was also stabbed after bravely approaching the alleged attacker.

Despite warnings from fellow passengers not to approach the knife-wielding man because he was short, Stephen Crean reportedly told another Forest fan he would ‘go and confront him’.

Mr Crean was later seen at Huntingdon station visibly injured and receiving medical attention.

In a heartfelt Facebook post about the Munster Forest football supporter, he wrote: ‘I have known him for at least 10 years and he is one of the kindest souls you will ever meet.

‘He bravely put himself in front of some children to protect them. ‘What a hero he is!’

When reports of the incident came in, police initially used the code word Plato for ‘predatory terrorist attack’.

Witness Thomas McLachlan, 19, from London, who returned from a trip to Newcastle, described how people left the train ‘covered in blood’.

The terrorist act has since been ruled out as a motive and Ms Alexander said today the suspect was not known to MI5 or the counter-terrorism services.

Tracy Easton, of the Crown Prosecution Service, said the number of charges ‘will remain under review’ as further investigations are carried out.

He said: ‘We worked closely with British Transport Police to examine a wealth of evidence, including CCTV. The number of charges will remain under review as this development continues.

‘We know the devastating impact of Saturday’s train events and how they shook the whole country. Our thoughts are with everyone affected.’

The 35-year-old man, who was arrested at the scene, was released without further action after police determined that he was not involved in the attack.

In the footage obtained by the Mail, he can be seen shouting ‘it’s not me’ while being shocked by police officers who thought he was the attacker.

LNER boss David Horne said the firm was ‘deeply shocked and saddened’ by Saturday’s events.

Huntingdon station will remain closed until the end of today. The LNER Azuma train on which the attack took place was removed this morning and trains can travel to and from London.
