A rail worker credited with saving multiple lives during a mass stabbing on a train has been named as Samir Zitouni.
The 48-year-old's actions on the Doncaster to London King's Cross service on Saturday evening were described as "nothing short of heroic".
Mr Zitouni remains "critically unwell" but stable in hospital, British Transport Police said.
Anthony Williams, 32, from Peterborough, was charged on Monday with 10 counts of attempted murder.
Ten people on board the LNER train, which stopped at Huntingdon in Cambridgeshire, were taken to Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge
An eleventh person went to the hospital later.
Six of those have been discharged, four remain in a stable condition.
David Horne, managing director at LNER, said: "In a moment of crisis, Sam did not hesitate as he stepped forward to protect those around him.
"His actions were incredibly brave, and we are so proud of him, and of all our colleagues who acted with such courage that evening.
"Our thoughts and prayers remain with Sam and his family. We will continue to support them and wish him a full and speedy recovery."
Mr Zitouni has worked for LNER for more than 20 years.
