Overview

• Andrew Mullings, 41, admitted wounding and weapons offences at Inner London Crown Court on October 10.
• He received an indefinite hospital order rather than a custodial sentence, with British Transport Police urging passengers to report concerns on the rail network.
• The July 18 attack targeted Bright Chukwu on a Croydon tram between Sandilands and Lloyd Park, leaving him with more than eight stab wounds.
• Officers recovered a bloodied kitchen knife from Mullings’ bag that matched the victim’s DNA and also found an unused meat cleaver.
• Police said Mullings blocked the victim’s path and threatened to kill him before the assault, then left at an emergency stop and was arrested on the tram lines shortly after.
