Man runs through tube waving ‘Rambo’ machete after stabbing 16-year-old boy, CCTV shows

This is the shocking moment a man runs through a Victoria Line tube after stabbing a 16-year-old boy.

Amarjay Nkemayang, 19, of Crawshay Road, Lambeth, took out his ‘Rambo-style’ knife and stabbed his victim in his left side on the northbound Victoria Line train. The victim, who also had a knife, fought back in terrifying scenes witnessed by members of the public on 23 November 2022.

British Transport Police officers intercepted the train at the next station of Stockwell and arrested Nkemayang.

He pleaded guilty to wounding with intent and possession of an offensive weapon and has now been jailed for six years and four months.
