British police have charged a 32-year-old man with multiple counts of attempted murder following a mass stabbing aboard a train in eastern England that left 11 people injured, two of them critically.

The suspect, Anthony Williams, from Peterborough, was arrested on Saturday night at Huntingdon Station after reports of multiple stabbings aboard a train traveling from Doncaster to London King’s Cross, according to the British Transport Police (BTP).

In a statement issued Monday, the BTP said Williams faces 10 counts of attempted murder, one count of actual bodily harm, and one count of possession of a bladed article in connection with the attack.

He has also been charged with an additional count of attempted murder and possession of a bladed article related to a separate incident at Pontoon Dock Tube Station in east London on November 1, authorities said.

BTP Superintendent John Loveless said officers apprehended Williams within eight minutes of the first emergency call.

“A second man was arrested at the scene but was later released after investigators determined he was not involved,” Loveless confirmed.

He added that police are not treating the incident as terrorism-related.

“At this stage, there is nothing to suggest this is a terrorist incident,” Loveless said. “It would not be appropriate to speculate on the causes of the incident at this early stage.”

According to police, 11 people were taken to hospitals with injuries sustained in the attack. As of Sunday morning, two victims remained in critical condition.

Emergency services, including armed officers and medical personnel, responded to the chaotic scene, where witnesses described passengers “screaming and hiding between seats” as the attacker moved through the carriage.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer condemned the stabbing spree as an “appalling incident” and said his thoughts were with the victims and their families.

“This was a deeply concerning and shocking event,” Starmer said, adding that the government was receiving updates from law enforcement on the investigation.

Williams is expected to appear before magistrates later this week as detectives continue to probe his motive and movements prior to the attack.
