'Heroic' train worker is praised for saving lives in stabbing
The Guardian
|November 05, 2025
A “heroic” member of staff who was seriously injured after the mass stabbing onboard a train in Cambridgeshire on Saturday has been praised for his “incredibly brave” actions to protect passengers.
Samir Zitouni, 48, who has worked for London North Eastern Railway (LNER) for more than 20 years, remains in hospital after the attacks.
Police officers who reviewed CCTV footage of the incident said it was clear Zitouni's actions were “nothing short of heroic and undoubtedly saved many people's lives”.
He was one of 11 people treated in hospital after the attack on the high-speed train from Doncaster to London on Saturday evening. Anthony Williams, 32, has appeared at Peterborough magistrates court charged with 10 counts of attempted murder in connection with the incident.
Yesterday, Zitouni's family said in a statement: “We have been deeply touched by the outpouring of love and kindness shown to Sam, and by the many well wishes for his recovery.
“The care provided by the hospital and the support from his colleagues at LNER has been incredible.
