He was also charged with another count of attempted murder and possession of a bladed article relating to an alleged incident at Pontoon Dock DLR station in east London in the early hours of the same day, where a victim suffered facial injuries in a knife attack, reported The Times.
Cambridgeshire Police said Williams had also been arrested over two incidents at a barbershop in Fletton on Friday evening and Saturday morning, and inquiries were ongoing into the stabbing of a 14-year-old boy in Peterborough at 7.10pm on Friday.
The IOPC said Cambridgeshire Police referred itself on Sunday, but it did not meet referral criteria as none of those injured had contacted police beforehand.
Williams appeared at Peterborough Magistrates’ Court and was remanded in custody.
