THE stabbing of a 14-year-old boy in Cambridgeshire and two reports of a knifeman seen in Peterborough are being investigated as part of the police probe into a mass stabbing on a high speed train last weekend.

Cambridgeshire Police said that the teenager was non-fatally injured at 7.10pm last Friday, before a man with a knife was seen at a barbers in the Fletton area of Peterborough 15 minutes later, although this was only reported to police two hours later.

A second report of a knifeman was made at 9.25am the following morning, when he was still at the scene, but when police arrived 18 minutes later they could not find him.

Anthony Williams, 32, appeared at Peterborough Magistrates’ Court yesterday, charged with 10 counts of attempted murder after several people were stabbed on an LNER train from Doncaster to London last Saturday. He is also charged with one count of assault occasioning actual bodily harm and one count of possession of a bladed article.
