A man accused of a mass stabbing on a train and other violent incidents is set to stand trial next year. Anthony Williams, 32, faces 10 counts of attempted murder following a series of stabbings on an LNER train travelling from Doncaster to London on the evening of November 1. The train was halted in Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire, after the attacks. Williams did not appear at the hearing held at Cambridge Crown Court on Monday. He previously stated at an earlier hearing at Peterborough Magistrates' Court that he has no fixed abode. In addition to the attempted murder charges, he is also charged with assault occasioning actual bodily harm for allegedly attacking a police officer while in custody. Furthermore, he faces a charge of possession of a bladed article on November 1. In a separate incident at Pontoon Dock DLR station in London during the early hours of November 1, Williams is charged with one count of attempted murder and possession of a bladed article. A victim sustained facial injuries from a knife attack during this incident. During Monday's proceedings, the case was consolidated with seven additional charges, resulting in a total of 21 counts against Williams. These include the attempted murders of a 14-year-old boy and a 22-year-old man, as well as the attempted wounding of a 28-year-old man in Peterborough on October 31. He is also charged with affray at a barbershop in Peterborough on the same day and the theft of a pack of knives from an Asda store in Stevenage. Moreover, Williams is accused of assaulting a man on a train from King's Cross to Peterborough on November 1. He faces further charges related to possessing a bladed article in public places in Peterborough on October 31. Judge Mark Bishop announced that a further hearing is scheduled for January 28 at Cambridge Crown Court, with a provisional trial date set for June 22, 2026. Williams remains in custody as the legal proceedings continue. This case follows the serious injury of a train crew member, Samir Zitouni, who was hurt while attempting to protect passengers during the stabbing incident. The 48-year-old, who has worked for LNER for over 20 years, was discharged from hospital last month. LNER has praised Zitouni for his actions, stating he helped save multiple lives. His family expressed gratitude for the public's support, saying, “We are so grateful for the outpouring of support from the public, and very touched by all the kind words about Sam’s brave actions on the night of the attack. While we are really happy to have him home, he still has a significant recovery ahead and we would now like to be left in privacy to care for him as a family.” The legal proceedings against Williams will continue as the investigation into these violent incidents unfolds.
