17-Year-Old Nephew of Actor Damson Idris Named as Youngest Victim in Huntingdon Train Stabbings

Prosecutors link a DLR slashing in east London to later stabbings on an LNER service.

Overview

  • Anthony Williams appeared at Peterborough Magistrates’ Court charged with 11 counts of attempted murder tied to the rail attacks.
  • British Transport Police said a DLR passenger was slashed in the face at 00:46 on 1 November at Pontoon Dock, and officers later identified Williams as the suspect.
  • The remaining alleged attacks occurred roughly 16 hours later on an LNER train from Doncaster to London, which made an emergency stop at Huntingdon.
  • The 17-year-old named victim is Isaiah Ishmael Idris, who family members say was wounded, with relatives requesting privacy.
  • A witness, Dave Scott, reported striking the suspect with his car at Huntingdon, while the indictment also references an earlier incident that day involving a 14-year-old in Peterborough.
