A man caught on CCTV in a barbers’ shop in Peterborough is being investigated in connection with a series of knife incidents, according to police reports. Anthony Williams, 32, who is currently homeless, faces 10 counts of attempted murder following a mass stabbing that occurred on a train traveling from Doncaster to London King’s Cross in Cambridgeshire. British Transport Police (BTP) has taken charge of the investigation and indicated that this attack is tied to the stabbing of a 14-year-old boy in Peterborough, as well as two separate incidents involving a man entering a barber shop in the city, potentially with a knife.
Additionally, BTP has linked the train stabbings, which prompted an emergency stop in Huntingdon, to another incident on a DLR train at Pontoon Dock during the early hours of Saturday. In relation to the latter, Mr. Williams faces an additional charge of attempted murder after a 17-year-old individual was stabbed on the train in East London. To address concerns arising from these events, Deputy Chief Constable Stuart Cundy stated that BTP will be increasing the visibility of police officers across the railway network to reassure both staff and passengers.
On Friday evening, a 14-year-old boy was reportedly stabbed by a man on Henry Penn Walk in Peterborough and was subsequently treated for minor injuries in a local hospital. The offender had fled the scene by the time Cambridgeshire Police arrived, and despite efforts to identify the suspect, no one was apprehended. Later that evening, a man brandishing a knife was said to have entered a barber shop in Fletton, with the incident being reported two hours later. Although the man had left the scene by this time, police did not dispatch officers to the location.
The following day, at around 09:25 on Saturday, the same barbers’ experienced another unsettling encounter. This time, a man reportedly entered the shop while he was still there, prompting a swift response from officers. However, by the time they arrived, the man had already left the premises. In the aftermath of the Saturday stabbings, BTP confirmed that seven patients had been discharged from hospital, while three individuals remained in stable condition. Railway worker Samir Zitouni, who is currently in critical condition after reportedly shielding a girl from harm during the attacks, was hailed for his courageous actions by LNER, the rail operator. Cambridgeshire Police Chief Constable Simon Megicks announced plans for an internal review of the events leading up to the train stabbings
