Jury shown CCTV of Huntingdon train staff using frying pan in defence

On November 1, 2025, a train traveling from Doncaster to London King's Cross became the scene of a mass stabbing attack that left multiple passengers injured. Anthony Williams, 33, faces charges of attempting to murder ten people aboard the train, plus three others attacked in Peterborough the day before and a boy at a London station. At Cambridge Crown Court this week, jurors watched CCTV showing crew member Samir Zitouni using a frying pan to defend himself and others against Williams's knife, an act prosecutors described as lifesaving courage—though Zitouni himself was severely wounded, with both lungs punctured. The trial's central question isn't whether Williams carried out the attacks, but whether he intended to kill his victims.
