Hailing from Peterborough in eastern England, Williams is slated to make a court appearance on Monday.

The brief but terrifying stabbing rampage caused chaos and fear aboard a train headed for London. Authorities apprehended the suspect when the train made an emergency halt in Huntingdon, eastern England.

While 11 people required hospitalization, one of the victims, a train employee, remains in critical yet stable condition.
