Canadian man beheaded while riding bus

A man on a Greyhound bus travelling across the Canadian Prairies was killed and decapitated in a violent attack by a fellow passenger.

A witness said the victim was stabbed 50 or 60 times by the man sitting next to him, who severed his head with a large knife.

According to the BBC, the bus had been travelling from Edmonton, Alberta, to Winnipeg, Manitoba.

"All of a sudden, we all heard this scream, this bloodcurdling scream," passenger Garnet Caton told CBC television.

A stand-off ensued, after which a 40-year-old man was arrested.

Sergeant Steve Colwell said the suspect was apprehended after a confrontation lasting several hours, in which he broke a bus window and tried to escape.
