CCTV shows frying pan used to stop Huntingdon train attacker
During Thursday’s evidence, the court was also told of an attack on 73-year-old David Presland, who had been stabbed in the back while on his hands and knees.
Presland said he had been “helped by someone he knew as Kevin” – believed to be Kevin Deely, another of those Williams is accused of attempting to murder.
Paxton told the court the events were “all over in about five minutes”, adding: “In that time, 10 men are stabbed by one man, this defendant, Mr Williams.”
Williams is accused of attempting to murder Aslam, Balakrishnan, Crean, Deely, Green, Presland and Zitouni on the train between Peterborough and Huntingdon on the Saturday evening, along with Scott Bletcher, Jonathan Gjoshe and Michael Paffett.
He is also accused of attempting to murder a 14-year-old boy and Dawid Taborski on a footbridge near Henry Penn Walk in Peterborough on 31 October, and William Ogelby at Railworld car park in the city shortly afterwards.
The trial continues.
