Kennington Tube Attacker Jailed for 11 Years for Stabbing Two Strangers

The sentence follows jury convictions for grievous bodily harm with intent rather than attempted murder.

Overview

  • Judge Vanessa Baraitser handed Nicholas Orlando Green an 11-year prison term with a further five years on extended licence.
  • Green attacked Phillip Thomas, 44, and Chintz Patel, 42, on March 27, 2024, leaving one man with 13 stab wounds and both with lasting psychological harm.
  • He also assaulted a 31-year-old woman as he fled the station, and passengers intervened to pull him away during the stabbings.
  • British Transport Police identified him via the bank card he used to tap into the station, arrested him the next day, and recovered his card, trainers and a freshly washed jacket.
  • Psychiatric reports found a severe personality disorder without psychosis, and detectives said Green laughed and tried to frustrate interviews.
