UK Parliament Condemns “Horrific” Train Stabbings; Attacker Charged with 11 Counts

The UK Home Secretary addressed Parliament following Saturday’s mass stabbing on an East Coast Main Line train, calling it one of the most shocking attacks in recent memory. A train crew member who confronted the knife-wielding suspect was critically injured but is being hailed as a hero for preventing further bloodshed. The suspect, identified as Anthony Williams, has been charged with 11 counts of attempted murder and possession of a bladed weapon. Authorities confirmed that the incident was not terror-related, though questions are mounting over earlier police contact with the suspect. Ten passengers were hospitalised, and security has since been tightened across Britain’s transport network. Officials say the investigation will focus on police response protocols and ongoing efforts to curb knife violence nationwide.
