Anthony Williams, 32, from Peterborough, has been charged with 10 counts of
attempted murder, one count of actual bodily harm and one count of possession of
bladed article following a knife attack on a train in Cambridgeshire on
Saturday, British Transport police said.


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.

BTP said that, within eight minutes of officers being called, the two men were arrested on the train, one believed to have been shot by police with a Taser after brandishing a knife.

Police have said there is nothing to suggest the incident was terrorism and have asked the public to come forward with information.

Eleven people were treated in hospital, with four of them later discharged. Two patients remained in a life-threatening condition, police told a press conference on Sunday morning.

Supt John Loveless told reporters at the scene in Huntingdon on Sunday: “At approximately 7.42pm yesterday evening, there were calls to the police service in relation to multiple stabbings which took place onboard a train service.

“Officers immediately attended Huntington station alongside paramedics, where armed police officers from Cambridgeshire police boarded the train and arrested two people within eight minutes of the 999 call being made.”

The incident prompted a surge in police officers being deployed across the rail network until at least the end of Monday, with disruption to trains between King’s Cross and Peterborough, and the closure of Huntingdon station also expected to last until at least then.

They've got all that power, money and tech yet they still behave like ****s in other areas. Why don't they do something useful with it all.
Sorry, bit of an unqualified rant but you get my point. I've just read about a UK university pulling a research program, firing the staff, after pressure from the Chinse govt.

No **** trace


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,” said Tracy Easton, the chief crown prosecutor for CPS Direct.
 
The world is just ****ed, especially the UK. For a supposed developed country, we are not very developed.
I understand your point, but this is one nutter losing his **** in grim fashion. Day to day life in the country isn’t like that at all. It’s easy to fall for the doom and gloom, I think that’s a big mistake personally.
