(CNN) — 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.
Everyone has a Greyhound Bus story…but I think this one takes the cake. I don’t even think this has happened in the movies before.

Holy Shit. I don’t know what else to say that is one of the most fucked up stories i’ve read in a long time. I mean What the Fuck is the guy postal and the guy was snoring too loud bothering him or something.
It is bad enough he stabbed him but he went as far as cutting his head off. I wonder if there is more to this or if it is just some fucked up crazy douche bag?!?
That is fucked up.

That truly is disturbing, maybe the guy had eaten at Taco Bell and let loose a few too many times? What baffles me is the statement “When he saw us, he came back to the front of the bus, told the driver to shut the door”…..really? The driver was still on the bus after all this shit was going down? If I were the driver I would have taken the keys and then gotten off with everyone else….no reason to become a hostage or lose you r hear…

I do think it was cool how a trucker stopped and they got a couple tire irons and were ready to go to town on holmes.
that is one of those situations were you wish Frank Castle (the punisher) was on that bus because he would hand out his version of Judgement and it would not be quick or painless. Frank would throw him in the back of the Punisher van and bring him back home hang his ass upside down from a chain and take a blow torch and go to work taking off each ear with the torch then his nose. Then maybe burn out an eye and see how the little bitch liked it when someone entered his world and turned it upside down like he did that other guy.
Thats the way Frank rolls and sometimes his brand of justice just seems to fit better even if it is not morally right.
that is how the punisher movie should be made. Frank at his gruesome best.

The exact quote…
“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.”
I love vigilante justice. I want to be on the truckers side. Any dude that would pull over and start passing out weapons is a bad ass in my book.

for anyone who thought i might have gone over the top for what this guy deserves i advise you read more of what happened in the new report that details that this asshole not only chopped his head off but while waiting for police to arrive he chopped off body parts and ate them.
His boss described him as a clean and neat model citizen who was never late and was one of his best employees.
It is always the quiet ones….. Seriously read this it is fucked up
