Throughout the day we've heard vivid accounts from victims of, and eyewitnesses to, a knife attack on a train in Cambridgeshire on Saturday evening.

One of the victims, Stephen Crean, told the BBC his hand was "sliced" as he confronted the alleged attacker on the train and "tussled" with him.

Anthony Williams, 32, today appeared in court and has since been remanded in custody.

He is charged with 11 counts of attempted murder, one count of actual bodily harm and two counts of possession of a bladed article.

Police are investigating whether Williams is linked to three other recent incidents - including the stabbing of a 14-year-old on Friday and two reports of a man seen with a knife in a barber's shop in Peterborough.

British Transport Police say five of those injured remain in hospital. One is said to be "critically unwell".

Meanwhile, Huntingdon railway station - where the LNER train stopped following the attack - has since reopened.

In the Commons, Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood said Williams was not known to security services, as Peterborough MP Andrew Pakes says the driver of the train and his colleagues "went beyond the call of duty".

We're now wrapping up our live coverage, but we have more on this story and a recap of everything we know so far.

Stephen Crean - who confronted the suspected attacker on the train - has been left with multiple injuries and will require plastic surgery, he says.

Earlier, he told the BBC's Lucy Manning about his "tussle" with the suspect which left him with injuries to his hand and head.

"He took a swing at this, and a swing at that", he tells PA news agency.

"I'm going to need plastic surgery. One finger doesn't look clever. I've had stitches on them all. I don't know how long it's going to take," he says.

We've just had an update from the British Transport Police (BTP), which says five patients are still in hospital after Saturday's knife attack.

They say ten people were taken to, and another self-presented at, hospital following the incident on a train in Cambridgeshire.

One patient remains stable but is "critically unwell", BTP say, adding that a further four patients remain stable.

They add that six patients have been discharged from hospital.

This means five of the initial 11 patients are still in hospital.

It differs from Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood's last update, which said three patients had been discharged while eight remained in hospital.

Supt Nick Sedgemore of the British Transport Police tells the BBC that the rail network is a "safe place to be".

He says there is a "major step-up programme to increase visibility and officers' numbers at major hubs", which includes extending officers' shifts and taking them off "non-important duties".

"We think this should reassure people by seeing extra police officers on the rail network, but also to increase the safety of the travelling public."

Asked if people should be afraid to travel in the wake of Saturday's Huntingdon attack, he says: "No, the chances of being a victim on the railway network is very rare indeed. The number of crimes are low compared to the millions of people we have using the network."

As we've been reporting, Cambridgeshire Police is reviewing three further incidents in Peterborough on Friday, 31 October and the morning of Saturday, 1 November to establish whether there is a connection between them and the Huntingdon train attack on Saturday evening.

Here's a map showing where the locations are in Peterborough:

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has just taken to the despatch box in the House of Commons.

He praises the police, first responders, and the "heroic" actions of the driver and the members of staff who were on board the train when the "vile and horrific attack" took place.

"There's no doubt that their collective action, their brave action, saved countless lives and I know the whole country is grateful for that," he says.

We can bring you more about that intervention from LNER driver Andrew Johnson now.

The train company released a statement, external paying tribute to Johnson, saying his decision to divert the train is a "testament" to his expertise and skills.

Johnson, who has been driving for nearly 20 years after serving in the Royal Navy for 17 years, made an unscheduled stop in Huntingdon, allowing police officers to access the train.

He says he took the same action as "any other driver", explaining that they all practise their emergency response and know exactly where to stop if needed.

"I think my colleagues onboard were the real heroes and I’d like to pay tribute to their bravery," he adds.

We're now hearing from Peterborough MP Andrew Pakes, who tells the Commons he doesn't want his constituency to become known "just because of the acts of a single perpetrator".

He pays tribute to the police, train staff and other emergency services who stepped forward when needed.

Pakes adds a special tribute to train driver Andrew Johnson, who is one of his constituents - we'll have more on Johnson in our next post.

He and his colleagues "went beyond the call of duty", he says.

"They showed the best of British values, and the true face of the county I represent and its people."

He asks Mahmood if she can confirm the government will "move every mile" to tackle knife crime, and ensure that public transport will be safe in the years to come.

Next up is Liberal Democrat spokesperson Max Wilkinson, who accuses political figures on the "hard right, including members of the Reform Party" of seeking to "exploit the incident for political gain".

These figures were "shamelessly trying to turn tragedy into yet another excuse to whip up fear and sow division", he says.

Wilkinson adds that the comments made by Shadow home secretary Chris Philp in the chamber "also veered into that realm" - which Philp angrily demands he withdraws.

Mahmood says that she deplores "the ease with which so many armchair warriors feel the need to speculate and share misinformation".

She adds that people "reveal their true colours" in moments of crisis, but will not comment on any individuals.

Huntingdon MP Ben Obese-Jecty says the collective actions of train staff and emergency services responding to the train attack "surely saved lives".

Mahmood says the way the Conservative MP conducted himself on the day was a credit to himself and his constituency.

Labour MP Ruth Cadbury, who is Chair of the Transport Select Committee, questions the home secretary on the long-term security changes on rail services.

Cadbury asks Mahmood can assure her that changes "will be considered very carefully".

Mahmood says it is "always a balance" when it comes to ease of travelling and making sure people are safe.

The government will makes sure that any changes that are made, will "strike the right balance", she says, adding that for now, the "risk assessment has not changed".

Mahmood responds to the shadow home secretary, agreeing that knife crime is "far too high".

While progress has been made, she adds, much more needs to be done to reduce attacks. She then calls for both sides of parliament to work together to address the issue.

The home secretary says police have the power to stop and search people indiscriminately, where required.

In response to Mahmood's statement in the Commons, shadow home secretary Chris Philp says the attack in Cambridgeshire "has horrified and shocked the whole nation".

He asks the home secretary to confirm whether police in London knew of suspected attacker Anthony Williams' identity, and if they informed Cambridgeshire Police.

"I'm asking, were there any opportunities to prevent this from occurring?" he says.

Philp asks if more should be done to prevent knife crime.

The amount of knives on streets needs to fall, he says and calls for the use of "stop and search" to "dramatically increase".

Mahmood says of those who have been injured - three have now been discharged, while eight remain in hospital.

"I know that everyone in this House wishes them the swiftest, and fullest, recoveries possible, and I would like to thank the staff at Cambridge University Hospital for their lifesaving care," she adds.

Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander earlier said there were five people still in hospital following the attack - we're looking into the numbers.

The home secretary says the train stabbing suspect Anthony Williams, 32, who has been charged with 11 counts of attempted murder, "was not known to the security services, counter-terror policing, or Prevent".

"For now, there is little I can say about this man and his past, beyond confirming that he is a British national, and was born in this country," Mahmood says.

"I know this House, and the public, will have many unanswered questions today about who this attacker was and about the events that led up to the attack.

"Those questions will be answered, but it will take time – the police and prosecutors must be allowed to do their work."

Mahmood draws attention to one member of the onboard crew "who ran towards danger" and confronted the attacker, which she says stopped his advance through the train.

She tells Parliament: "He put himself in harm’s way, suffered grievous injuries as a result, and remains in hospital today, in a critical but stable condition.

"On Saturday, he went to work to do his job – today, he is a hero, and forever will be."

Mahmood then tells the House she is limited on what facts she can disclose due to the live investigation.

We'll be listening across and will bring you the key lines.

The Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper has hailed the "incredible bravery" of railway staff during Saturday's knife attack on a train in Cambridgeshire.

Without the intervention of London North Eastern Railway (LNER) staff, she says, "we would have seen far more people hurt or even lives lost".
