A footballer was one of the victims of the shocking attack on the LNER train to London from Doncaster on Saturday.

Eleven people received hospital treatment following the attack on Saturday night, which took place on a LNER train.

Two British men in their 30s were arrested with Anthony Williams, 32, from Peterborough, charged with ten counts of attempted murder in relation to the train attack, as reported by BBC News.

Williams has also been charged with one count of possession of a bladed article and a further count of attempted murder in relation to an incident at Pontoon Dock DLR station earlier on Saturday.

The 32-year-old appeared at Peterborough Magistrates Court on Monday and was remanded in custody ahead of an appearance at Cambridge Crown Court on December 1.

Williams is also charged with allegedly assaulting a police officer following the attack on the train.

The other man who was arrested has since been released with further action.

On Sunday, police said five people had been discharged from Addenbrooke’s Hospital in Cambridge while one victim remained in a “life-threatening condition”.

Many witnesses have spoken of the terror they experienced, with one, Olly Foster, describing how he heard people shouting "run, run, there's a guy literally stabbing everyone".

A staff member of the LNER train who “saved many people’s lives” remains in a “critical but stable condition”.

It has since emerged that Scunthorpe United footballer Jonathan Gjoshe was one of the victims affected. It was confirmed by the National League club that he has “non-life-threatening injuries” in a statement posted on social media on Monday.

"Jonathan Gjoshe was one of the victims affected by the shocking attack on an LNER train bound for London on Saturday evening,” the club’s statement read.

"We can confirm that Jonathan sustained non-life-threatening injuries as a result of the attack, but currently remains in hospital.

"Due to the ongoing investigations taking place, we are currently unable to update further.

"Everyone at the club, from the Board, management and his teammates, along with all staff behind the scenes, sends our heartfelt well wishes to Jonathan for a full recovery, which is also extended to all the victims on board the train."
