The train was waiting for police at the Niles, Michigan station after a 911 call because police say Williams was agitated and acting odd. The attacks were occurring as police boarded the train and Williams was subdued with a Tazer.
The victims include three men and woman and none of the injuries were life-threatening and they are now stable.
If a motive for the attacks has been determined, police are not sharing.
