A man accused of stabbing 10 people on a train is said to have made threatening statements about himself the day before the attack, jurors hear. The court also hears that Anthony Williams allegedly paced up and down on a train prior to the stabbing, with reports focused on the phrase “I am the baddest”.
BBC, Sky News and The Mirror all describe the same central claim: police and the court are considering evidence about Williams’ behaviour and earlier concerns leading up to the incident. BBC adds that police responded to fears about him on a train the day before, placing emphasis on authorities’ response in the lead-up.
Sky News and The Mirror both highlight the accused’s wording more directly, describing the alleged statement as being that he was “the baddest” and that no one was as bad as him. Together, the outlets present a picture of the alleged pre-attack conduct, alongside the fact that the trial concerns the stabbing of 10 people on an LNER service.
