A knifeman who stabbed two strangers more than a dozen times in a horrific attack at a Tube station has had his sentence extended.
Nicholas Orlando Green, 36, attacked Phillip Thomas, 44, and Chintz Patel, 42, at Kennington Underground station in south London as they headed home from a dance class in March 2024.
Green repeatedly stabbed Mr Thomas in the chest before knocking Mr Patel to the ground and also stabbing him when he bravely rushed over to help.
The attacker also assaulted a woman as he fled the scene of the double stabbing.
Green was found guilty of two counts of Grievous Bodily Harm with Intent at Inner London Crown Court in September 2025.
He was also found guilty of one count of Possession of a Bladed Article and one count of Common Assault.
He was initially sentenced to 11 years’ imprisonment and five years on licence.
However, Green’s sentence has now been increased to 18 years with a further five years on licence after Solicitor General Ellie Reeves KC MP referred the case to the Court of Appeal under the Unduly Lenient Sentence Scheme.
BTP Detective Chief Inspector Paul Attwell said: "We wholeheartedly welcome the Court of Appeal’s decision to increase Green’s sentence to 18 years custodial imprisonment, with a further five to be served on licence.
“His victims – who were complete strangers to him – continue to live with the physical and psychological impact of the shocking and unprovoked attack at Kennington Underground station in March 2024.
“I hope this outcome provides some additional comfort knowing that Green will now serve an even longer sentence.”
The Solicitor General Ellie Reeves KC MP said: "This was a shocking and horrific attack. Green targeted three people with extreme merciless violence. The bravery shown by the victim who stepped in to help was remarkable, and my thoughts are with all those affected.
“I welcome the Court of Appeal's decision to increase Green's sentence and remain committed to ensuring those who carry out serious knife attacks face the full force of the law."
