Screaming passengers fled in terror from a Greyhound bus as an unidentified fellow passenger suddenly stabbed a man sleeping next to him, decapitated him and waved the severed head at horrified witnesses standing outside.

The apparently unprovoked assault left 36 men, women and children stranded Wednesday night on the shoulder of the darkening Trans-Canada Highway near Portage la Prairie, Man., about 85 kilometres west of Winnipeg, watching while the bus driver and a driver of a nearby truck shut the crazed attacker inside the bus with the mangled victim. A number of tribute groups on the social networking website Facebook identified the victim as 22-year-old Tim McLean.

McLean has been identified in various Facebook tribute pages as the victim in Wednesday’s stabbing and beheading aboard a Winnipeg-bound Greyhound bus in Manitoba.

At a news conference Thursday afternoon, RCMP confirmed they have a suspect in custody, but offered few new details about this baffling homicide. The suspect’s name has not been released.

“He didn’t do anything to provoke the guy. The guy just took a knife out and stabbed him, started stabbing him like crazy and cut his head off,” said Garnet Caton, 26, a passenger on the Edmonton-to-Winnipeg bus. “Some people were puking, some people were crying, other people were in shock. . . . Everybody was running, screaming off the bus.” Caton said the attacker was only on the bus for a brief time, after boarding in western Manitoba.

After the bus pulled over and the terrified passengers fled, Olmstead said the attacker was taunting those outside with the victim’s severed head. “He came back, standing in the doorway with the head, looked at him, dropped the head and went back and started cutting buddy back up.” He said when police showed up, the taunting continued.

Caton said he and other passengers prevented the attacker from getting off the blood-soaked bus by threatening him with makeshift weapons - a hammer and a crowbar. “We were telling him, ‘Stay put, stay put, stay there, don’t try to come out.’ He tried to get the bus working and the bus driver disabled the bus somehow in the back.

Caton and other passengers said the attack appeared to be unprovoked; no words were exchanged.

Caton described the man who attacked the passenger as bald and wearing sunglasses. He seemed oblivious to others when the stabbing occurred, said Caton, adding he was struck by how calm the man was. “There was no rage or anything. He was like a robot, stabbing the guy,” he said.

And thus ends another wonderful Greyhound adventure. We see that whether in Canada or the USA, riding with Greyhound involves dealing with people of only the highest caliber. We remember being at the Greyhound station in Orlando, Florida - yikes.
