Train passengers fled "in sheer terror" from a knife attacker who asked one victim "do you want to die?", a trial has heard.

Anthony Williams, 33, is accused of attempting to murder 10 passengers and staff on a train that had to make an emergency stop in Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire, on 1 November 2025. He is also accused of trying to kill three people in Peterborough the day before and then a boy at a London railway station.
