A young man was stabbed on a Greyhound bus travelling across Canada on the weekend, in the second bus attack in two months and an eerie reminder of the August assault when a passenger was beheaded, police said Monday.
The attack occurred on Sunday afternoon aboard the bus about five kilometers (three miles) 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 disembarked 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 horrific 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.

...especially in light of other SOTT articles, one of which is on the main page; the second shooting in a Finnish school, coupled with the 'Timeline of School Shootings'; the two bulldozer 'attacks' in East Jerusalem, and another 'terrorist' driver ploughing through Israeli pedestrians yesterday.
The Hungerford Massacre and Dunblane were what the British government cited when it brought in stringent gun controls in the UK. (It is also a criminal act in the UK to carry any kind of knife.)
