On October 24, 2026, Tyrone Rule was arrested by 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 seriously injured; he was later discharged from the hospital. Subsequently, on October 26, Tyrone Rule appeared before Highbury Corner Magistrates’ Court where he was charged with one count of Grievous Bodily Harm with Intent and another for possession of an offensive weapon in a public place.
Meanwhile, in a separate incident, Anthony Williams, 33, is on trial at Cambridge Crown Court since October 28, 2026. He is accused of attempting to murder ten people and stabbing four others over the Halloween weekend of November 1, 2025, on an LNER train service traveling from Peterborough to London. Prosecutors have described Williams as a dangerous threat who attacked passengers while carrying a knife during his rampage through multiple train carriages.
Jurors were shown CCTV footage where Samir Zitouni, a member of the train staff, fought back against Anthony Williams with a frying pan before the train made an unscheduled stop at Huntingdon railway station. Additionally, jurors watched police body-worn camera footage depicting armed officers arresting Williams after he allegedly confronted passengers and asked one if they wanted to die.
