Police believed Huntingdon train attacker had schizophrenia, jury told

Police dealing with a man accused of trying to kill 10 people on a train noted he had schizophrenia following his arrest, a court has been told. Anthony Williams denies attempting to murder passengers and staff on a London-bound train, which made an emergency stop in Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire, on 1 November last year.

Cambridge Crown Court heard PC Caitlin Brown, who was involved in transporting Williams to hospital then to the police station, said he "appeared to be talking to himself" and spoke about the devil. Williams, 33, of Langford Road in Peterborough, also denies four other counts of attempted murder related to earlier attacks in Peterborough and London.

Jurors were shown footage of Williams' arrest in the car park of Huntingdon railway station, and the court heard a Taser and a baton gun - which fires less lethal objects - were used against the defendant. In a statement read to court, the arresting officer said Williams had said something along the lines of "kill me, kill me".
