Passenger feared Huntingdon train attacker was suicide bomber, court hears

A passenger on a train where a mass stabbing took place said he initially thought it might have been a suicide bomber, a court has heard. Milan Campion was travelling on a London-bound LNER service on 1 November last year when it made an unscheduled stop at Huntingdon amid an attack by Anthony Williams, Cambridge Crown Court heard. Campion told jurors Williams was "threatening everyone indiscriminately" so he "came to the conclusion that he wasn't sound of mind".

Williams, 33, of Peterborough, denies 10 counts of attempted murder on the train. He is also charged with four other attempted murders following earlier incidents in Peterborough and London. In a video interview played to jurors on Monday, Campion said he got on the train at Grantham, adding "quite a lot of us had travelled from the Nottingham Forest versus Manchester United game".

The court heard how Campion, who is not one of those Williams is accused of trying to kill, opened a toilet door to find Williams inside.
