Patrick Christys has directed a stern four words towards radio DJ Terry Christian, after the 65-year-old mocked “white males of fighting age” who were injured during the Huntingdon knife attack.
The brutal attack, which left 10 people injured, took place on an LNER train heading from Doncaster to London King’s Cross, which had stopped at Huntingdon at around 8pm on Saturday night.
Anthony Williams, 32, appeared in court today and has since been remanded in custody, charged with 11 counts of attempted murder, one count of actual bodily harm, and two counts of possession of a bladed article.
Police are currently investigating whether Mr Williams is linked to three other recent incidents, including the stabbing of a 14-year-old on Friday.

GB NEWSSince the attack, victims and witnesses have praised those who showed bravery and risked their lives to save others.
One such man was Stephen Crean, who is confirmed to have confronted the attacker in the carriage, instead of running away.
In an interview with the BBC, Mr Crean said he faced the attacker head-on because he recognised that “young women” needed to reach the buffet cart area to be protected.
“I saw him coming towards me, a guy with a rucksack and he’s obviously got something in there,” he explained.

PA“Everyone’s gone towards the buffet, and that is on the verge of being full up. There’s no-one else getting in there. I wasn’t even going to bother pushing to get in… there are young women and they need to get them in.
“I confronted this guy, because I’ve got to make sure that the door’s locked and I’ve looked around to save a bit of time. But then he started, he pulled this thing out. It was an over large blade thing.”
Mr Crean said the man asked him if he wanted to die before lunging towards him and badly slicing his hand and head.
Despite Mr Crean risking his life to protect women on the train, Mr Christian took to social media to doubt his version of events and openly mock him.
“Anyone heard from witnesses on that LNER train saying how white males of fighting age were running and hiding in toilets while defenceless women and kids were outside whilst an immigrant Muslim train guard almost lost his life holding that mad knifeman back?” the DJ wrote on X.
He then continued in a separate post: “I’m an atheist and recovering Catholic – but since reading about the heroism of LNER staff member & life saver Samir Zitouni in the face of a psychotic knife attacker – whilst fighting age British males fled to hide in the toilets etc… like many in here I’m drawn towards Mecca.” (sic)
The former BBC DJ also claimed Mr Crean was “hiding in the bogs”. His posts inevitably sparked fury from X user, including the People’s Channel’s very own Patrick.
Patrick responded to an article about Mr Christian’s outburst with the cutting verdict: “What a horrible man.”
What followed was an outpouring of support from Patrick’s followers, calling the DJ “vile”.
“I remember him giving me the creeps when I used to drunkenly tune into ‘The Word’ after a night out. He was a vile sleaze then and is STILL a vile sleaze now,” one user commented.
“Just disgusting,” responded another, while a third wrote: “He and others appear to be using the train stabbings last week as some sort of evidence of racism against whites. He’s a little bit deranged methinks. Weird.” (sic)
Another urged the public not to give Mr Christian “the attention he craves”.It’s not the first time this week that Patrick has used social media to call out famous figures in the public eye.

This week, the presenter also slammed BBC comedian Dara Ó Briain following his social media posts about migrants and sex abuse cases.
The comic got into an online row on Monday night in response to Elon Musk’s comments on The Joe Rogan Show, where he shared concerns about an influx of migrants entering small English towns and “raping kids”.
Mr Ó Briain wrote: “This is genuinely insane. I mean, just worryingly divorced from any reality. How desperate are people to believe this nonsense?”
When challenged on the claims, Mr Ó Briain disputed the “raping the kids” remark in a separate tweet, sparking controversy given the grooming gangs scandal in the UK.
Patrick was among those quick to respond: “I still can’t believe he hasn’t deleted this.”
Eventually, Mr Ó Briain deleted the post and issued a clarification, insisting he was referring specifically to one Irish town rather than the broader UK and Ireland.
