On October 24, Tyrone Rule was arrested by the British Transport Police after a stabbing incident at Brixton Underground station in south London. The victim sustained injuries to his face and back but was not critically injured; he was discharged from the hospital following treatment.
The same day, Anthony Williams, 33, allegedly stabbed ten people on an LNER train traveling from Doncaster to London, causing widespread panic among passengers. During a trial at Cambridge Crown Court on October 28, prosecutors described how Williams asked one victim if they wanted to die and caused terror throughout the train.
Williams is also accused of stabbing four other individuals in London and another town before the train attack during Halloween weekend in 2025. Several brave passengers attempted to de-escalate the situation, including a football fan who called emergency services after confronting Williams. Additionally, a 14-year-old boy was stabbed by Williams while trick-or-treating with a friend in Huntingdon.
The trial continues as Williams pleads not guilty to multiple charges of attempted murder and wounding with intent.
