The suspect in the mass stabbing attack that took place on a London train Saturday (November 1) is also accused in a similar but separate incident that took place earlier in the day, the New York Post reports.
Anthony Williams, 32, is charged with 10 counts of attempted murder, one of actual bodily harm, and one of possession of a bladed article in relation to the incident at Huntingdon Train Station. Williams was also charged with attempted murder in relation to an incident at pontoon Dock light rail station in London just prior to 1:00 a.m. local time in which a victim was reported to have “suffered facial injuries after being attacked with a knife” prior to the suspect fleeing the scene.
Authorities are also "looking at other possible linked offenses" but are not treating the train stabbings as an act of terror nor looking for other suspects. Williams, who is suspected to have left 11 people wounded, including two in critical condition, was wrestled to the ground on a train platform as multiple officers and a police dog surrounded him at Huntingdon Train Station Saturday night in the video recorded by Viorel Turturica and shared with the Sun.
“Get him in a f**king hold!” one police officer is heard yelling.
The buzz of a taser is heard as the suspect attempts to fight back while being detained.
“Give me your hands now,” an officer is heard telling suspect, while a colleague yells, “Get the cuffs!”
Turturica, 42, a taxi driver who took the video, said he saw people frantically running from the station.
“Then 10 seconds later a man dressed in black holding a huge kitchen knife in his hand runs past my car,” he told the Sun.
“The police arrive seconds later and I could hear him shouting ‘kill me, kill me, kill me’ to them. They then taser him and as soon as he is down they say to him ‘drop your weapon,’ that’s when I started recording,” he added
