Man jailed for knife attack on London tube

A man has been jailed after a knife attack on a teenager on a Victoria Line tube.

Amarjay Nkemayang, 19, of Crawshay Road, Lambeth, London, pleaded guilty to Wounding with Intent and possession of an offensive weapon at the Old Bailey on 22 May.

He was sentenced to 6 years 4 months imprisonment, with an additional 15 months for possession of an offensive weapon to run concurrently.

On the afternoon of 23 November 2022, Nkemayang and 3 other males met the 16-year-old victim outside a sports shop in Brixton and followed him into Brixton Underground station. Both the victim and Nkemayang entered the northbound Victoria Line service on the same carriage via different doors.

Once on the train, Nkemayang took out his "Rambo-style” knife and stabbed the victim in his left side, causing a 3cm deep wound. The victim armed himself and a knife fight ensued in front of petrified members of the travelling public. BTP officers intercepted the train at the next station, Stockwell, where Nkemayang was arrested and the knife seized. He answered no comment in his police interview.

The victim and Nkemayang were not known to each other.

Why blur the faces of his accomplices? They clearly weren’t running from him. That’s a team right there.

Tell me who gets on a commuter rail and has a huge weapon of a knife!? No one who is of innocence! That’s more like a sword! People don’t run if they are innocent period! I hope he’s in jail where he should be, if only for having that weapon 😮! That’s scary to think people are on the tube with such items from whence I could be murdered😮!
