Man held after Greyhound passenger stabbed

Man held after Greyhound passenger stabbed

23.09.2008

A YOUNG man was stabbed on a Greyhound bus travelling across Canada on the weekend, in the second bus attack in two months and a reminder of an earlier assault when a passenger was beheaded.

The attack occured on Sunday afternoon aboard the bus about 5km south of White River, Ontario, sending a 20-year-old to hospital for non-life-threatening injuries.

Police picked up the 28-year-old suspect after he got off the bus on the side of a remote highway immediately following the attack.

A motive for the assault was unclear because the two did not appear to know each other, police said.

The case is a reminder of a knife attack last month aboard another Greyhound bus in which a man stabbed, gutted and beheaded a fellow passenger.

Vince Weiguang Li, 40, of Edmonton faces a second-degree murder charge in the case.

Both buses were en route to Winnipeg.
