Police investigating whether train attack suspect linked to stabbing of 14-year-old on Friday

Throughout the day we’ve heard vivid accounts from victims of, and eyewitnesses to, a knife attack on a train in Cambridgeshire on Saturday evening.

One of the victims, Stephen Crean, told the BBC his hand was “sliced” as he confronted the alleged attacker on the train and “tussled” with him.

Anthony Williams, 32, today appeared in court and has since been remanded in custody.

He is charged with 11 counts of attempted murder, one count of actual bodily harm and two counts of possession of a bladed article.

Police are investigating whether Williams is linked to three other recent incidents – including the stabbing of a 14-year-old on Friday and two reports of a man seen with a knife in a barber’s shop in Peterborough.

British Transport Police say five of those injured remain in hospital. One is said to be “critically unwell”.

Meanwhile, Huntingdon railway station – where the LNER train stopped following the attack – has since reopened.

In the Commons, Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood said Williams was not known to security services, as Peterborough MP Andrew Pakes says the driver of the train and his colleagues “went beyond the call of duty”.

We’re now wrapping up our live coverage, but we have more on this story and a recap of everything we know so far.
