A 32-year-old British man, Anthony Williams, has been formally charged with 10 counts of attempted murder following a violent knife attack on a London-bound train. The incident, which occurred on Saturday, left eleven people injured, including a train crew member who remains in critical but stable condition after attempting to intervene. The attack took place on a train that subsequently stopped at Huntingdon, approximately 80 miles north of London, and has since drawn widespread condemnation. Prime Minister Keir Starmer and King Charles have both expressed their sympathies to the victims and their families. Williams, hailing from Peterborough in eastern England, faces additional charges of assault occasioning actual bodily harm and possession of a bladed article. British Transport Police confirmed that the charges were brought after a thorough review of CCTV footage and other evidence. Transport Minister Heidi Alexander stated that Williams was not previously known to security services, though she refrained from commenting on his mental health history. By late Sunday, five of the injured had been discharged from hospital, while others continue to receive medical care.
