'Terminator' machete train man who attacked innocent commuter is found guilty

A “Terminator” Tube attacker has been found guilty of hacking at a commuter with a machete. Panicked passengers toppled over each other as they fled through carriages when Ricky Morgan launched an unprovoked attack on James Porritt, the Old Bailey heard.

Morgan, 34, was heard to tell horrified onlookers: “This is not a terror attack, I only want him.”

Mr Porritt, who suffered a severe injury to his hand, told jurors it was like a “horror movie” and the Arnold Schwarzenegger sci-fi film Terminator. Morgan denied attempted murder on grounds of insanity but was found guilty by a jury at the Old Bailey after two days of deliberations.
