Scunthorpe player and Forest fan among train attack victims

A Scunthorpe United player and a Nottingham Forest fan are among the victims stabbed in a knife attack on a train in Cambridgeshire on Saturday evening. They are among 10 people injured on the train during the mass stabbing.

Footballer Jonathan Gjoshe, 22, and Forest fan Stephen Crean were travelling on a LNER train from Doncaster to London King's Cross when they were attacked at around 20:00 GMT.

Mr Crean has been hailed a hero after he confronted the train attacker, going face to face with him in the carriage.

Mr Gjoshe was slashed across the bicep and has been operated on, his club said.

Anthony Williams, 32, has been remanded in custody following the incident and is charged with 11 counts of attempted murder, two counts of possession of a bladed article and one count of actual bodily harm. One of the attempted murder counts relates to a separate incident.

Mr Crean says it's nice to hear that people are calling him a hero but that he wasn't the only one.

"It's lovely to hear. But I'd say there are other heroes like the police and the guys that got me off the train and the ambulances and the hospital staff, they're probably real heroes.

"And the train guy that's really badly injured. So, you know, it's a big shout to call someone a hero, but it's nice."

He says he was determined to confront the attacker to give another passenger time to close the buffet door.

"That door still wasn't shut behind me, because I could still see him struggling to close it. So until I knew it was I wasn't moving away from it."
