Overview
- British Transport Police say Anthony Williams, 32, of Peterborough, has been charged with multiple counts linked to the Huntingdon attack and a separate incident at Pontoon Dock DLR, and he has appeared in court.
- Passenger Stephen Crean described confronting the knifeman, suffering head and hand injuries, and said he tried to slow the attacker before taking shelter until the train reached Huntingdon.
- Eleven people were taken to hospital, including an LNER staff member now in a critical but stable condition, and Scunthorpe United confirmed defender Jonathan Gjoshe sustained non‑life‑threatening injuries.
- Police confirmed one of two men initially detained was released with no further action, the inquiry remains active with specialist support, and Huntingdon station operations were disrupted during the response.
- Public support has surged for Crean, with a fundraiser surpassing £5,000 and Nottingham Forest’s owner offering to cover medical costs for affected fans, while the Home Secretary is expected to address Parliament.
