A relative of a Hollywood actor was among the victims in a train stabbing incident in the UK.
Authorities are currently investigating multiple incidents, which they believe are connected.
A 32-year-old man, Anthony Williams, has been charged with several offenses related to these stabbings.
One of the incidents took place during the 6.25pm train service from Doncaster to London King’s Cross between 31 October and 1 November, resulting in injuries to several passengers.
Among the injured was 17-year-old Isaiah Ishmael Idris, the nephew of British actor Damson Idris, who was reportedly hurt in the attack.
Reports from Metro and the Daily Mail indicate that Isaiah was one of the youngest victims and sustained injuries to his face.
On 1 November, Isaiah is said to have ‘staggered’ off the train at Pontoon Dock station and contacted emergency services by calling 999.
Damson has not issued a statement regarding the injuries his nephew sustained, but another family member, Isaiah’s uncle Habeeb Idris, confirmed the injuries.
Habeeb told the Daily Mail, “I am aware that Isaiah was involved in the incident on a train, but we are dealing with this privately as a family.”
Following the attack, ten individuals were transported to the hospital by ambulance, and one person went to the hospital independently.
As of 4 November, seven of the patients had been discharged, while one LNER rail network staff member remains in critical but stable condition.
Three additional patients are still hospitalized after the incident.
The police continue to investigate a series of events, including the train stabbings, as part of a broader inquiry covering incidents over 31 October and 1 November.
Deputy Chief Constable Stuart Cundy stated: “The criminal investigation is a priority for British Transport Police, and we are working closely with Cambridgeshire Constabulary and the Crown Prosecution Service.
“We have also this week initiated measures to increase the visibility of police officers across the railway network to reassure both rail staff and the travelling public.
“People will have seen officers actively patrolling concourses and trains, engaging with train crew and passengers, and covering as many services as possible to maintain safety and confidence.
“Most importantly, the public are our eyes and ears too. If you see something that doesn’t feel right, trust your instincts and text us on 61016.”
Representatives of Damson Idris and the British Transport Police have been contacted for comment.
