Stephen Crean, whose left hand was stabbed and now requires plastic surgery, said it was “him against me” when he came face to face with the attacker on the train shortly after it left Peterborough on Saturday evening.

“A few people ran past me, I let them go and then I went to go,” he told The Times. “We got to the buffet bar but I hear the people in there struggling to get in. There was no room for me.

“I couldn’t get in any of the toilets and I wouldn’t take anybody else’s place because there’s children and there’s women and young men. I’m older. So that’s it. The choice was made”

  6. I dunno why as humans we all run when one person is holding a weapon. I’d like to think I would never run. And yeah I may get hurt. But if none of us run then less people get hurt!

  7. Good man, well done for stepping up to duty when it came it came knocking. All the best.

  8. He really does seem to be recovering physically so well. I hope his mental health is looked after just as well, because at some point soon he’s going to really realise the gravity of the position he was in, and how much of a hero he is, and it’s going to be a lot to take in. What an amazing guy. True hero.

  11. Nottingham forest owner has say he will pay any medical costs for any forest fan caught up in the incident. I really hope he helps this man’s recovery. It would have been a lot worse if it wasn’t for his bravery.
