British Transport Police said Anthony Williams is charged with 10 counts of attempted murder, one of actual bodily harm and one of possession of a bladed article over the attack on Saturday.

He is also charged with attempted murder over a separate incident at Pontoon Dock transit station in London earlier the same day, and police said investigators were “looking at other possible linked offences”.

Police said they were not treating the stabbings as an act of terror.
