Train stabbings hero discharged from hospital

A rail worker who was credited with saving multiple lives after a mass stabbing on a train has been discharged from the hospital. On the evening of 1 November, Samir Zitouni, a member of the Doncaster to London King's Cross service, was struck by an attacker as it passed through Cambridgeshire. The 48-year-old was one of 11 people hospitalized for their injuries.

While we are glad to have him home, his family has a long road to recover,

his family said in a statement released by the British Transport Police (BTP).

We are so grateful for the outpouring of love from the public, and we're extremely touched by Sam's brave words on the night of the attack.

The BTP has already described his behavior as "nothing less than heroic.

Last week, the service said he was critically unwell but stable at Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge, but not well. Mr Zitouni has been credited with blocking a homicide suspect from stabbing a woman, leaving him with a gash on his head and neck. More than £67,000 has been raised to help the family by an online crowdfunding platform set up by one of his coworkers. LNER's train was run by LNER, and managing director David Horne has already said his activities were

incredibly brave, and we are so proud of him. The family asked to be

left in secrecy to care for him as a family," according to their statement.

After passing through Peterborough, passengers on board the train said a person brandishing a knife started stabbing people. At Huntingdon, the train came to an emergency stop. Anthony Williams, 32, of no fixed address, was charged with ten counts of attempted murder in connection with the train stabbings and a count of attempted suicide in connection of a suspected murder in London. On December 1, he will appear in Cambridge Crown Court. The train stabbings in Peterborough are linked to three other incidents in the hours ahead, as well as the stabbing of a 17-year-old man on a DLR train in east London, according to BTP.
