Scunthorpe United's Jonathan Gjoshe Victim of Huntingdon Train Stabbing - Nottinghamshire Live
Anthony Williams faces 10 attempted murder charges after stabbing 11 aboard a high-speed train; nine victims suffered life-threatening injuries, police said.
- Anthony Williams, 32, was brought before a court on Monday charged with ten counts of attempted murder after eleven people were injured on the London-bound LNER train from Doncaster to King's Cross that stopped at Huntingdon station.
- The train, passing between Peterborough and Stevenage at around 7.39pm, was when the first emergency call was made after the 6.25pm Doncaster-to-London service left Peterborough station on Saturday.
- Documents allege a 'large kitchen knife' was used and officers recovered the blade; an LNER staff member in critical but stable condition, and Jonathan Gjoshe, 22, underwent surgery for a slash to his bicep.
- Police added an attempted murder charge related to Pontoon Dock DLR station, and Williams was remanded in custody after a brief hearing, police said, 'contact BTP by texting 61016 quoting reference 663.'
- Specialist detectives are examining the suspect's background as BTP said there is 'nothing to suggest' the attack was terror-related, Deputy Chief Constable Stuart Cundy said the inquiry is moving at pace.
