A man was stabbed to death and then decapitated on a Greyhound bus bound for Winnipeg 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 sleeping with his head against the window.

"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.

Garnet Caton, who was sitting in front of the victim, heard the commotion and turned around thinking he was going to witness a fight.

Caton told CTV News that once he realized what was going on he screamed: "Stop the bus, somebody's getting stabbed, everyone get the hell off."

The bus driver pulled over on a section of the east-bound Trans-Canada Highway -- about 15 kilometres west of Portage la Prairie, Man -- and many of the 37 passengers began to flee the bus.

Canton gathered a small group of people to go back and help the victim, 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 group was able to exit the bus and slammed the door behind them.

The suspect then used his knife to try and break through the door. Eventually, the man attempted to drive away on the bus but the driver had hit a switch, disabling the vehicle.

Oliver said a truck driver then arrived at the scene and handed out wrenches and crowbars to several men. The small group gathered around the door to the bus and prevented the man from exiting until police arrived.

RCMP eventually arrested the man after a standoff lasting several hours, said Oliver.

Witnesses said the suspect was tall, large and wearing sunglasses, even though it was dark.

"Why?" asks the confused waiter, as the panda makes toward the exit. The panda produces a badly punctuated wildlife manual and tosses it over his shoulder.

"I'm a panda," he says at the door. "Look it up."

The waiter turns to the relevant entry and, sure enough, finds an explanation.

"Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves."

Holy s h i t! Don't go to sleep on a bus!

Yes, the nice ones a carefully disguising their violent schizophrenia. Be afraid, be very afraid! 0^:

Don't blink on a bus.
