Man admits unprovoked attack at Leytonstone Tube station

A man has admitted trying to stab four people in an unprovoked attack at a London Tube station.

Appearing at the Old Bailey via videolink, he pleaded not guilty to one charge of attempted murder after a man was kicked and cut across the throat.

Prosecutors claim the 30-year-old from Sansom Road, Leytonstone, was carrying out an act of terrorism.

The Recorder of London Judge Nicholas Hilliard adjourned the case until Tuesday 31 May.
