Huntingdon train stabbing: Police seek to reunite passengers with belongings

British Transport Police is now working to reunite passengers with property left behind following last Saturday’s mass stabbing (November 1).

Anyone who left property on the train is asked to text BTP on 61016, quoting the reference 153 of 2 November and should state which seat and carriage they were in and describe the property in as much detail as possible.

An appointment will then be made to collect the property in person at BTP offices in either Peterborough or London. The location will be confirmed when an appointment is made.

Officers have said that while they will be aiming to complete this work as quickly as possible, they are not able to say at this stage when an appointment will be made.

A spokesperson added: “Unfortunately, it’s not possible for items to be sent by post, nor will we be able to return any items to anyone without an appointment.

“We’re grateful for the patience and understanding of those who were travelling while this work is carried out.”

  • Anthony Williams (32) of no fixed abode, appeared at Peterborough Magistrates’ Court on Monday, charged with 11 counts of attempted murder (10 relating to the incident on the train, one relating to an incident at a London station), two counts of possession of a blade in a public place, and one count of assault occasioning actual bodily harm. He was remanded into custody until December 1, when he is due to appear at Cambridge Crown Court.
