  • British Transport Police said his actions were nothing short of heroic after reviewing on-board CCTV, with colleagues and politicians calling for formal recognition.
  • Anthony Williams, 32, has been charged with 10 counts of attempted murder linked to the Huntingdon train attack and separate counts tied to a Pontoon Dock DLR incident.
  • Police confirmed ten patients were taken to Addenbrooke’s Hospital in Cambridge and one self-presented following the 1 November stabbings on the DoncasterLondon service.
