London - British prosecutors on Monday charged a 32-year-old man with ten counts of attempted murder following a mass stabbing on a London-bound train that left multiple passengers injured on Saturday, including a train worker critically but now stable.

Anthony Williams has also been charged with one count of attempted murder and possession of a bladed article over an earlier incident in east London.

He is due to appear at Peterborough Magistrates' Court on Monday.
