Stabbed Seven Times on Cambridgeshire Train, Footballer Breaks Silence and Seeks New Club

His interview spotlights the long recovery victims face after the November 1 train stabbings.

Overview

  • Jonathan Gjoshe, 23, recounted in Monday’s BBC interview how he leapt seats, pulled the emergency alarm and fled drenched in blood after being stabbed on the Doncaster-to-London service.
  • Surgeons treated seven wounds to his bicep, shoulder and arm that narrowly missed a nerve, and the train made an emergency stop at Huntingdon before paramedics took him to hospital.
  • After months of rehab he returned to full training in March, but Scunthorpe United released him this month and he is now seeking a new club.
  • Prosecutors say 32-year-old Anthony Williams faces multiple attempted-murder charges, with the trial refixed for late October while further psychiatric assessments are prepared.
  • The November 1 attack left 11 passengers seriously injured on an LNER train through Cambridgeshire, and Gjoshe says some riders first thought his warnings were a joke because it was the day after Halloween.
