London (United Kingdom), Nov. 3 (LaPresse/AP) – A 32-year-old man has been charged with attempted murder in the UK in connection with Saturday’s train stabbing, which left 11 people injured. British Transport Police report that Anthony Williams, the accused, faces 10 counts of attempted murder, one count of assault, and one count of possession of a bladed weapon related to the Saturday attack. He has also been charged with attempted murder in connection with another incident that occurred the same day at London’s Pontoon Dock light rail station. Williams was arrested when the train made an emergency stop. Police stated that they are not treating the incident as a terrorist act and are not seeking any further suspects. A second man initially arrested as a suspect was released without charges on Sunday after it was determined that the 35-year-old was not involved. Williams, a British citizen from Peterborough in eastern England, is due to appear in court today.
