Huntingdon stabbing victim is revealed as nephew of huge Hollywood star

One of the youngest victims of the Huntingdon train knife attack was the 17-year-old nephew of Hollywood star Damson Idris, who was most recently seen on the big screen starring opposite Brad Pitt in the blockbuster movie F1. Sixth-form student Isaiah Ishmael Idris was slashed across the face in the early hours of Saturday November 1 as he travelled on the Docklands Light Railway (DLR). The teen reportedly staggered off the train at Pontoon Dock station in east London before calling 999. He was one of the people Anthony Williams, 32, was accused of attempting to murder during an apperance at Peterborough Magistrates' Court on Monday.

Williams was charged with 10 counts of attempted murder, one count of actual bodily harm, and one count of possession of a bladed article. The charges are in relation to the attacks on the London North Eastern Railway (LNER) 6.25pm service on Saturday November 1 from Doncaster to London King's Cross on Saturday, British Transport Police (BTP) said.

He is also charged with a separate count of attempted murder and possession of a bladed article in connection with an incident on a train at Pontoon Dock DLR station in east London in the early hours of the same day.

He allegedly used a "large kitchen knife" in both attacks, according to court documents. Williams appeared in the dock in handcuffs with four security officers alongside him, and spoke softly to confirm his name, age, and address.

He was not asked to enter pleas and when asked his address mumbled "no fixed abode".

It is understood he is not known to the security services or counter-terrorism policing, and had not been referred to the Government anti-extremism scheme Prevent.

District judge Ken Sheraton remanded Williams into custody to appear at Cambridge Crown Court on December 1.

Tracy Easton, chief crown prosecutor for CPS Direct, said: "Our team of out-of-hours prosecutors worked to establish that there is sufficient evidence to bring the case to trial and it is in the public interest to pursue criminal proceedings.

"We worked closely with British Transport Police to review a huge volume of evidence, including CCTV. The number of charges will be kept under review as this continues to progress.

"We know the devastating impact the events on Saturday's train have had and how the incident shocked the entire country. Our thoughts remain with all those affected."
