"The Crown Prosecution Service has decided to prosecute Anthony Williams with 11 counts of attempted murder, one count of assault occasioning actual bodily harm and two counts of possession of a bladed article following a police investigation into an incident on a LNER train from Doncaster to London on Saturday 1 November 2025. Our team of out-of-hours prosecutors worked to establish that there is sufficient evidence to bring the case to trial and it is in the public interest to pursue criminal proceedings."
"British Transport Police said on Sunday morning that two men had been arrested but by Sunday night one of them a 35-year-old man from London had been released with no further action. Police said he was not involved in the attack. It followed a major incident on Saturday evening on the 6.25pm service from Doncaster to London King's Cross, which resulted in the train being diverted for an emergency stop at Huntingdon in Cambridgeshire about an hour into the journey."
Anthony Williams, 32, from Peterborough, has been charged with 11 counts of attempted murder, one count of assault occasioning actual bodily harm and counts of possession of a bladed article. Eleven people were injured during a mass stabbing on the 6.25pm LNER service from Doncaster to London King's Cross. The train was diverted for an emergency stop at Huntingdon in Cambridgeshire about an hour into the journey. Two men were arrested on the train; a 35-year-old man from London was later released with no further action. British Transport Police said officers reached the train within eight minutes and one suspect was believed to have been tasered after brandishing a knife. Police have said there is nothing to suggest the incident was terrorism and prosecutors reviewed CCTV and other evidence with charges to be kept under review.
