"A man who stabbed a stranger eight times with a kitchen knife on a tram in south London has been sentenced to an indefinite hospital order. Andrew Mullings, 41 who also had a meat cleaver in his bag attacked Bright Chukwu on the service between Sandilands and Lloyd Park, near Croydon. Mr Chukwu is lucky to escape with his life after the horror incident in front of terrified commuters, British Transport Police said."
"He had noticed Mullings at the tram stop and as they both boarded, his way was blocked. When the victim demanded an explanation, Mullings replied that he would kill him. Once on the train, Mullings produced a knife and stabbed Mr Chukwu in the stomach. Mullings then pursued the man who tried to move down the carriage to escape, repeatedly stabbing at him at around 6.45pm on July 18 last year. Panicked passengers attempted to flee while Mr Chukwu suffered further face and leg wounds."
Andrew Mullings, 41, stabbed Bright Chukwu multiple times with a kitchen knife on a Croydon tram between Sandilands and Lloyd Park and also carried a meat cleaver. The attack began after a confrontation at the tram stop when Mullings blocked the victim's path and threatened to kill him. On board, Mullings stabbed Chukwu in the stomach and pursued him down the carriage, inflicting further face and leg wounds as passengers fled. Chukwu survived more than eight stab wounds. Mullings jumped from an emergency stop in a tunnel and was later arrested walking along the tramlines. Forensic tests matched the victim's blood to the knife. He pleaded guilty and received an indefinite hospital order.
