Britons are rallying around Samir Zitouni, a 48-year-old London North Eastern Railway (LNER) staff member whose actions during the Huntingdon train attack in November 2025 have been praised as heroic.
Zitouni stepped in when a man armed with a knife began attacking passengers on a train travelling from Doncaster to London King's Cross. Police said he helped save several lives before being seriously injured.
