– Eleven individuals, including train crew members, were injured during the stabbing incident.
– The suspect is not known to security authorities, according to the transportation minister.
– By late Sunday, five victims had been released from the hospital.
British authorities announced that a 32-year-old man has been charged with 10 counts of attempted murder in connection with the knife attack on Saturday. Officials clarified that the attack was not considered terrorism-related.
The mass stabbing, which injured 11 people, included a train conductor who remains in critical but stable condition after being hurt while trying to prevent the suspect from harming others. The assault occurred on a London-bound train that stopped at Huntingdon, approximately 80 miles north of London. The incident shocked the nation, prompting statements of concern from Prime Minister Keir Starmer and King Charles, who expressed their sympathies.
The Crown Prosecutor’s Office identified the accused as Anthony Williams, 32, from Peterborough in eastern England. He faces 11 counts of attempted murder, one charge of assault causing actual bodily harm, and two counts of possession of a bladed weapon. Ten of the attempted murder charges are related to the train attack, while the additional charge stems from a separate incident earlier that day at a station in East London.
Williams is scheduled to appear before Peterborough Magistrates Court later today. The charges resulted from a review of CCTV footage from the train and other evidence.
The transportation minister confirmed that the suspect was not known to intelligence or security services and declined to comment on his mental health history. As of late Sunday, five injured individuals had been discharged from the hospital.
