A man arrested after the stabbing of a Greyhound passenger on Sunday was put on the bus in northwestern Ontario by police officers in the hours before the attack, other passengers said on Monday.
A 28-year-old man is in police custody following a stabbing that sent a 20-year-old man to hospital in Sault Saint Marie, Ont., with minor injuries.
Passengers on the bus said the attack took place about two hours after police officers put a man on the bus in Wawa, Ont.
Sgt. Larry Ross with the Wawa municipal police told CBC News that police had helped a man obtain a bus ticket earlier on Sunday, after an earlier encounter with police.
The man had been taken into custody early Sunday and charged with disturbing the peace, and was released later in the morning, Ross said.
Early Sunday afternoon, he returned to the police station and asked to go to a hospital "for psychological reasons," Ross said. Police officers took him to the hospital, where he was assessed by a doctor.
"The doctor on duty deemed there was insufficient grounds under the Mental Health Act to detain him, and [he] was subsequently released," Ross said.
At that time, Wawa police used social-assistance funds to purchase a bus ticket for the man to help him get to his home in Manitouwadge — roughly halfway between Thunder Bay and Sault Ste. Marie, Ross said.
"The subject had no transportation and a strong desire to go home, and the Wawa police addressed this need by obtaining a bus ticket via social assistance, which is a normal function for this police service for people who … find themselves transplanted with a lack of money or for whatever reason," Ross said.
The man was searched twice by Wawa police officers — once before he was put in a cell, and again before going to the hospital — and no weapons were found, Ross said. He was not searched before he got on the bus.
"We had no legal grounds to search him at that time," Ross said. "The police don't have the authority just to come up to someone and search them for no reason. There has to be a valid, lawful reason for a police search."

| I bet this is standard practice. Police determine he's mentally sane and they send him on his way. Unfortunate result here, but I don't think we have enough information to point fingers at the police yet. |

| This is awful. I think the time for metal detectors is coming. I know there is a lot of difficulties with just putting metal detectors on buses, but something has to happen here soon. |

Putting metal detectors on buses is kind of ridiculous. We've gone years without a major incident and then there are 2 completely random, unrelated violent incidents and everyone freaks.
It would just result in infinitely more headaches and BS for greyhound and everyone taking it. Do any of you really feel safer because no one can take liquid or gels on planes anymore? I don't. |
