Overview
- LNER worker Samir Zitouni, 48, is said to have used a frying pan to confront the attacker so others could flee, and he is among 11 people injured and remains in a critical but stable condition.
- British Transport Police say the investigation has been formally linked to four other knife incidents in the 25 hours before the train attack.
- The train’s driver, named locally as Andrew Johnson, reportedly overrode a door alarm and coordinated with signallers to divert and slow the service for an emergency stop at Huntingdon.
- Passenger Stephen Crean recounts grappling with the suspect with his bare hands before being stabbed, and a petition is calling for him to be honoured.
- Williams also faces counts connected to an earlier DLR station incident along with alleged weapons and ABH offences after a first appearance at Peterborough Magistrates’ Court.
