Huntingdon train attack passengers thought stabbing was a 'joke'

Some train passengers initially remained sitting down and thought a man was joking after he told people "I've been stabbed, run", a court has heard. Anthony Williams stabbed 10 people on the train which made an unscheduled stop in Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire, on 1 November last year.

Cambridge Crown Court heard the first person who was stabbed, Jonathan Gjoshe, later asked hospital staff "am I going to die today?". Williams, 33, of Langford Road in Peterborough, denies 10 counts of attempted murder, and four other alleged attempted murders in earlier incidents in Peterborough and London.

Jurors have seen CCTV footage of Williams' attack , which took place on the York to London King's Cross LNER service, after it had left Peterborough. The court was played a video interview with Gjoshe, who said he was on his phone in carriage J at the time and initially thought Williams was someone he knew.
