The 17-year-old nephew of actor Damson Idris has been identified among the youngest victims of a stabbing rampage that took place across England’s rail network earlier this month.

According to a statement from the British Transport Police (BTP), Isaiah Ishmael Idris, 17, suffered facial injuries after being attacked on London’s Docklands Light Railway at around 12:46 a.m. on November 1. Authorities said the teenager managed to call emergency services after “staggering” off the train at Pontoon Dock station.

The incident occurred just hours before multiple passengers were stabbed on an LNER train traveling from Doncaster to London King’s Cross. At least 10 people were injured in the stabbing spree, and several were taken to the hospital for treatment.

32-year-old suspect Anthony Williams was arrested on murder charges later the same day.

Isaiah’s uncle, Habeeb Idris, confirmed the teen’s involvement in the attack.

“I am aware that Isaiah was involved in the incident on a train, but we are dealing with this privately as a family," the victim's uncle told Daily Mail.

Deputy Chief Constable Stuart Cundy said an investigation into the incident remains ongoing.

“We are working closely with Cambridgeshire Constabulary and the Crown Prosecution Service. We have also initiated measures to increase police visibility across the railway network to reassure both rail staff and the traveling public," Cundy said in a statement.

Damson Idris hasn't publicly commented on the incident.
