Man knifed in chest aboard Greyhound
Attacker put on bus by police, passengers say

WHITE RIVER, Ont.–A young man was stabbed in the chest while travelling through northern Ontario on a Greyhound bus yesterday afternoon, less than two hours after passengers say the attacker was put on board by police.
The victim – identified by witnesses as an Asian man in his mid-20s – was rushed to hospital but was expected to survive.
Police arrested the suspect near White River, just moments after the Greyhound driver allowed the man with blood on his hands to get off at the side of the highway.
"We don't know why he was with the police or why he was able to get on the bus with a knife and get that by police," said passenger Anita Daher, one of a dozen passengers who witnessed the terrifying incident, which immediately brought back memories of the July attack near Portage la Prairie, Man., in which a passenger was stabbed and beheaded on a Greyhound.
"There's got to be some security measures put in place. We don't feel safe," said Daher.
She boarded the bus in Sault Ste. Marie, deliberately picking a seat near the front, believing she'd be safe if trouble broke out.
Daher said she was returning messages on her BlackBerry when she heard a commotion from the back of the bus just after 3 p.m.
"I heard a shout, someone yelling that someone was having trouble breathing. Then I heard something about a knife," said Daher.
She called 911, then handed the phone to the Greyhound driver.
About the same time, a young man walked up to the front of the bus, blood dripping from his hands.
The man demanded the bus stop and let him off immediately.
The driver – apparently not aware of exactly what had happened – told him they'd be arriving in White River in a few minutes.
The man wasn't satisfied, saying "Just open the doors."
"People at the back were yelling `Don't let him get away,' but the driver stopped and let him off," she said. Police apparently picked him up at the side of the road a short time later.
The bus continued on to White River where it was met by paramedics who rushed the victim to hospital by ambulance.
A Greyhound spokeswoman said yesterday she cannot confirm any details because of an ongoing police investigation. Ontario Provincial Police have not released information about the incident.
