Overview
- British Transport Police have charged Anthony Williams, 32, with ten counts of attempted murder, ABH and possession of a bladed article linked to the train attack, plus a further attempted‑murder charge tied to an alleged incident at Pontoon Dock.
- Nottingham Forest fan Stephen Crean has been identified as the passenger who confronted the attacker and has given a first‑person account, saying he “just did what anyone else would do” as he recovers at home.
- The train’s guard who tried to stop the assault remains in a critical condition, and several other injured passengers have been treated in hospital with multiple later discharged.
- Driver Andrew Johnson raised the alarm and diverted the LNER service to Huntingdon, where armed officers boarded within minutes and made arrests after passengers triggered emergency alarms.
- BTP urged the public not to prejudice ongoing proceedings, Counter Terrorism Policing is supporting the investigation, and the Home Secretary is expected to address Parliament later today.
