A passenger on a train where a mass stabbing took place said he initially thought it might have been a suicide bomber, a court has heard.

Milan Campion was travelling on a London-bound LNER service on 1 November last year when it made an unscheduled stop at Huntingdon amid an attack by Anthony Williams, Cambridge Crown Court heard.

Campion told jurors Williams was "threatening everyone indiscriminately" so he "came to the conclusion that he wasn't sound of mind".
