Thomas Jewitt, 32, died after being attacked on the Central Line platform at Liverpool Street station while returning home from the Notting Hill Carnival on August 30, 2021. Emergency services were called to the scene at around 10:51 pm; Thomas was rushed to the hospital in critical condition and died three days later. Jeremiah Maximo, 38, of Barking, has been charged with grievous bodily harm.
