Man Charged with 10 Attempted Murders After Huntingdon Train Stabbing

Anthony Williams, a 32-year-old man from Peterborough, has been charged with 10 counts of attempted murder following a mass stabbing on a London North Eastern Railway (LNER) train traveling from Doncaster to London King's Cross. The attack resulted in 11 people being stabbed, with one victim, a member of train staff who tried to stop the attacker, remaining in life-threatening condition. Williams was also charged with attempted murder and possession of a bladed article related to an earlier knife attack at Pontoon Dock DLR station in London on the same day. Police are investigating whether Williams is connected to additional knife incidents in Peterborough prior to the train attack. Armed police arrested Williams and another man at Huntingdon station shortly after the train was stopped, but the other man was released without charge. Authorities emphasize the ongoing investigation and support for victims while cautioning against prejudicing the criminal proceedings.
