As horrified travelers watched, a Greyhound Canada bus passenger repeatedly stabbed and then decapitated a young man who was sitting and sleeping beside him, a witness said Thursday.

"There was a bloodcurdling scream. I was just reading my book, and all of a sudden, I heard it," Garnet Caton, who was sitting in front of the two men, said of the Wednesday night incident west of Portage la Prairie in Manitoba.

"It was like something between a dog howling and a baby crying, I guess you could say," Caton said. "I don't think it will leave me for a while."

Passengers exited the bus, and a trucker who stopped provided wrenches and crowbars to several of them so they could keep the suspect on the bus until police came, witnesses told Canadian TV.

The suspect was seized with the help of negotiators, Royal Canadian Mounted Police Sgt. Steve Colwell said.

"Everybody got off the bus. Me and a trucker that stopped and the Greyhound driver ran up to the door to maybe see if the guy was still alive or we could help or something like that," Caton said.

"And when we all got up, we saw that the guy was cutting off the guy's head. ... When he saw us, he came back to the front of the bus, told the driver to shut the door. He pressed the button and the door shut, but it didn't shut in time, and the guy was able to get his knife out and take a swipe at us," Caton said.

Caton told the AP that the attacker didn't sit near the victim when he first got on the bus, about an hour before the attack.

"He sat in the front at first; everything was normal," Caton said. "We went to the next stop, and he got off and had a smoke with another young lady there. When he got on the bus again, he came to the back near where I was sitting. He put his bags in the overhead compartment. He didn't say a word to anybody. He seemed totally normal."

Half an hour later, the attack began, Caton told the AP. "There was no rage or anything. He was like a robot, stabbing the guy."

They also said that the police witnessed the man hacking off pieces of the victims body parts and eating them! eww

I just feel sorry for the victims family

How do you feel about this incident and what do you think should be done to the attacker?

  1. We in Australia haven't heard about it at all!

    But it sounds horrible


  2. how sad that stuff like this is happening

    the best thing we could do is protect ourselves the best

    thank God we are having better technology and its helping us protect

    the people.


  3. Yeah I read about this. I think it's absolutely one of the most horrible things I've ever heard. The guy was just sleeping, listening to music and apparently did nothing to provoke the attack. The murderer has to be soooo messed up in the brain to have acted like they say he did. It's like he wasn't even human. I just hope that he gets a just punishment and has to face what he did to that poor man and his family, not to mention all of the witnesses who have to live with it for the rest of their lives.  

  4. Yes I heard about it and I thought to myself that is what too much security leads to not enough people armed around to defend others.  Put him away for life and don't ever talk about him again.

  5. I read about this.  The victim was only 19 years old. Really sad and my heart goes out to the family of the victim.

  6. I was wondering why the other passengers didn't do anything to stop this madman. They could have overpowered him if they all had gotten together to stop him. Why were they using the tools to keep him in the bus when they should have beat his a$$ and saved the other guys life. The guy was obviously crazy but the truly sad part is that no one tried to stop him.

  7. oh man....he obviously has a mental problem but i don't think whatever he has could be cured.  I think they should kill him.

  8. well canada doesn't have the death penalty and prison is to good for him and if hes found to be a s***w to lose he might get off with the nut house .my sympathy for  the family, but he needs a hanging and theres plenty of fine trees in canada

  9. What the heck? If this is true then this guy is sick and insane and needs to get prison for life...death is to good for him.  

  10. life in prison.

    countless years in prison while most likely being unmercifully raped every day is far greater punishment then just a simple death sentence

  11. a simple life. isnt paiful enough, nor punishing enough. let him live in misery if i were the i would beat the S**t out of him.

  12. The man was an escape mutant from sector 3.  

  13. I heard about it.  It was horrific.  It's possible this person may be legally insane.  If he is shown to be insane he should be sent to a locked psychiatric institution for the rest of his life.  If he's not insane he should get life in prison without any possibility of parole.  Either way this person should never be free in society again.

  14. This tragic event happened over a week ago.  Are you just now hearing about it?
