A man was stabbed to death and then decapitated on a Greyhound bus travelling through Portage la Prairie, Man., early Thursday, witnesses confirm.
Witnesses on the bus told CTV's Murray Oliver that a young man, between the ages of 18 to 20, was killed.
"He was listening to music when suddenly the person next to him began to stab him in the neck with... a large butcher knife," Oliver reported Thursday from Brandon, Man., where the passengers have since been taken.
Oliver said the bus driver pulled over and some of the 37 passengers began to flee.
"A number of people decide to go back and see if they could help," said Oliver.
"They returned to the back of the bus to find that the person who was stabbing the person in the neck had now sawed off the head of (the victim)."
The suspect, with the head in one hand and the butcher knife in the other, then tried to attack the other passengers, said Oliver.
The bus driver managed to hit a switch that locked the suspect on the bus as the group waited for police to arrive.
Police eventually took the suspect into custody.
The bus was travelling to Winnipeg from Edmonton.
