## Key points

- A cockapoo’s barking reportedly startled the alleged attacker.
- Scott Green described being stabbed on an LNER train.
- Anthony Williams denies 14 attempted murder charges.

## Summary

A passenger told Cambridge Crown Court that his cockapoo, Poppy, barked aggressively after he was attacked on a London-bound train, and the alleged knifeman ran away. Scott Green said the dog’s reaction startled Anthony Williams and gave him a chance to escape with Poppy; the account is part of testimony in Williams’s trial.

Green said he was sitting in a window seat with earphones when people ran through the train, and that Williams attacked him in carriage H. He tried to grab the knife but released it because it was too sharp, then noticed his hands were bleeding. Williams denies 14 counts of attempted murder linked to alleged attacks on the train, in Peterborough and at Pontoon Dock; jurors must decide whether he intended to kill.
