Man Admits Wounding 12 in Train Stabbing

Anthony Williams, 33, admitted to 12 counts of wounding with intent in relation to a mass stabbing incident on a train in Cambridgeshire. The attack occurred on November 1, 2023, on the 18:25 Doncaster-London service after it departed Peterborough. The train was forced to make an unscheduled stop at Huntingdon railway station.

Williams, who resides on Langford Road in Peterborough, appeared at a pre-trial review at Cambridge Crown Court. He has denied a charge of attempted murder, and his trial for that offense is scheduled to commence next week. The guilty pleas were entered for the lesser charges during the review.
