British authorities have charged 32-year-old Anthony Williams with 12 counts of multiple attempted murder, assault and unlawful possession of a bladed weapon after a bloody incident on a high-speed train traveling from the city of Doncaster in the direction of London. Last Saturday, a man armed with a knife attacked passengers and conductors there, injuring 11 people.

Eyewitnesses told the media about the panic on the train and "blood everywhere." 8 minutes after the first attack signal, the train stopped at Huntingdon Station, where it was met by the police.

Initially, it was reported that two men were detained at the crime scene, and later one was released. Anthony Williams remained under arrest. The Daily Telegraph reports that at the time of the attack, Williams shouted the phrase "The devil will not win," and behaved inappropriately and laughed during the arrest.

The authorities do not consider the incident as a terrorist attack. The Minister of Transport said that the suspect, a British citizen, was not known to either the anti-terrorist police or the security services and did not undergo a program to prevent radicalization.

The police clarified that Williams is also suspected of involvement in three other attacks that occurred on Friday and Saturday in Peterborough and London. As a result of one incident, a 14-year-old teenager was injured.

The massacre on a train in the east of England shocked the British. Prime Minister Keir Starmer and King Charles III expressed their support for the victims.

Police patrols at railway stations have been reinforced throughout the country. ru.euronews.com.
