Man accused of carrying out Huntingdon train stabbing denies attempted murder and other charges

A man accused of carrying out a mass stabbing attack on a train in Cambridgeshire has pleaded not guilty.

Appearing at Cambridge Crown Court by video-link, Anthony Williams, 33, denies 10 counts of attempted murder during the incident in Huntingdon on 1 November last year, as well as 11 other offences.

Several people were stabbed on an LNER train from Doncaster to London that day.

Judge Mark Bishop remanded Williams in custody until his trial, which he set for 26 October. The judge also instructed that a further case management hearing will take place on 2 October.

During his appearance, Williams also pleaded not guilty to possession of a bladed article on a train between Peterborough and Huntingdon on 1 November.

Williams also denied assault occasioning actual bodily harm over an alleged attack on a male police officer while in custody on 2 November.

He pleaded not guilty to one count of attempted murder and possession of a bladed article over an incident at Pontoon Dock DLR station, London, early on 1 November, where a victim suffered facial injuries after being attacked with a knife.
