Tube Station Terror: Dancer Attacker Jailed 11 Years

Nicholas Orlando Green, 36, received an 11-year prison sentence for a brutal, unprovoked knife attack on two individuals at Kennington Underground station. The assault occurred on March 27, 2024, shortly after Phillip Thomas and Chintz Patel had finished a dance class.

Green repeatedly stabbed Mr. Thomas in the chest before attacking Mr. Patel, who bravely intervened. The attacker then assaulted a woman before fleeing. Evidence, including his bank card used for travel and trainers left at the scene, led to his identification. He exhibited a lack of remorse during arrest and interviews, even laughing at times.

Mr. Thomas described the profound impact of the attack, living with the constant fear of death and a loss of his former carefree self. Mr. Patel suffered 13 stab wounds, significantly impacting his mental health and confidence, and still avoids the station. Judge Vanessa Baraitser noted Green's severe personality disorder and convicted him of grievous bodily harm with intent.
