Police were called about the Huntingdon train attack accused the DAY BEFORE he shouted 'I am the baddest', jury hears

Anthony Williams, on trial for the Huntingdon train attack, boasted 'I am the baddest' moments before launching the assault, jurors at his trial heard today. Police had already been called to deal with concerns about Williams on a train the previous day, raising questions about whether the attack could have been prevented.

Williams made the chilling boast to fellow passengers before the knife attack began.

Officers responding to the day-before incident failed to prevent his return to the network.

The case puts police decision-making in the spotlight as the trial gets under way.
