Damson Idris nephew victim Huntingdon train attack
A 17-year-old boy, identified as Isaiah Ishmael Idris, nephew of Hollywood actor Damson Idris, has been confirmed as one of the youngest victims in the recent mass stabbing aboard the train that halted at Huntingdon railway station. He was slashed across the face while travelling on the Docklands Light Railway (DLR) service in East London in the early hours of Saturday 1 November 2025.
Isaiah staggered off the train at Pontoon Dock station and contacted emergency services. He is a sixth-form student and the son of Damson Idris’s elder brother. The attack is part of a broader incident that saw multiple people injured aboard the train travelling from Doncaster to London King’s Cross, which stopped unexpectedly at Huntingdon station after the attacker boarded at Peterborough railway station.
Authorities have charged Anthony Williams, 32, with ten counts of attempted murder and ongoing investigations are exploring links between this case and earlier knife attacks in London and Peterborough.
