Samir Zitouni was named as the hero of the train that saved lives during the attack

A railroad worker credited with saving many lives during a mass robbery of a train named Samir Zitouni.

The actions of the 48-year-old from Doncaster at the Cross Service in London on Saturday night were described as “nothing short of heroic”.

Mr Zitouni remains “critically unwell” but stable in hospital, British transport police said.

Anthony Williams, 32, homeless shelter, charged 10 Count of Attempted Murder in connection with the train stoning and one count of attempted murder in connection with an attack in London on Saturday.

Mr. Zitoununi has worked for LNER for over 20 years.

David Horne, Lner’s managing director, said: “In a moment of crisis, Sam did not hesitate as he continued to protect those around him.

“His actions were unbelievable, and we are very proud of him, and all of our colleagues who acted with such courage that night.

“Our thoughts and prayers remain with Sam and his family. We will continue to support them and wish him a full and speedy recovery.”

It is thought that Mr. Zitounun “blocked” the attacker from grabbing a girl, leaving her with a gash on her head and neck.

In a statement, his family said they were “extremely proud of Sam and his bravery”.

“The police called him a hero on Saturday night, but to us he will always be a hero,” they said.

“We have been so touched by the outpouring of love and kindness shown to Sam, and by the many wishes for his recovery.

“The care provided at the hospital and the support from his LNer colleagues was unbelievable.”

On Monday morning, Secretary of State Heidi Alexander told the BBC of the courage she had shown “totally” in putting herself “in harm’s way”.

“There are people alive today who wouldn’t be… if it weren’t for his actions.”

Ten people on the LNer train, which stopped at Huntingdon in Cambridgeshire, were taken to AddenBrobeoke’s hospital.

An eleven eleven onthose went to the hospital later.

Seven of those were ejected and four remain in a stable condition, British transport police said.

The attack took place at 18:25 GMT LNER SERVICE SERY SERVICE from Doncaster, South Yorkshire at Kings Station at King’s King’s King’s King’s King’s King’s King’s King’s Station.

Passengers said that a man who parked a knife started stabbing people on the train after it passed PETROOOOUS.

Cambridgeshire Police had earlier said it was investigating whether the man accused of carrying out the attack was linked to an incident involving a 14-year-old boy in Peterborough and to two reports of a knifeman at a barbers’ shop in the city.

On Friday the teenager was stabbed and a man was reported to be in the shop carrying a knife. The shop made a second report the next day.

The British Transport Police (BTP), which is leading the investigation, said today that “detectives from BTP are involved in all incidents, and active inquiries are being made”.

Cambridgeshire Police is carrying out an internal review of the events that took place before the mass train attacks.

Chief Constable Simon Megicks said he had commissioned an internal review of Monday’s events, but had since received a “formal request from Darryl Preston for this review”.
