We seem to be averaging one bus stabbing every 3-4 weeks. The last one was arrested still covered in the victims blood and was immediately released on promise to appear. In unrelated news, transit ridership is down, and we can’t figure out why.

>According to the Winnipeg Police Service (WPS), three suspects got on the bus and got into an unprovoked argument with the victims. Police said the argument escalated and ended with the woman, 40, and her daughter, 16, being attacked with an edged weapon.
>The suspects, who also robbed the victims of their personal belongings, fled the area before police got to the scene. The woman and her daughter were taken to the hospital where they were treated and released.
>“It happened so fast, like she started hitting me…but then I heard my daughter say, ‘Mom, she’s stabbing [you],’” the woman said, noting the attack started with a slash to her abdomen.
>“So then I looked and I noticed she had like a little box cutter around. So I tried to stop her from that and then she came and lunged at me and she slit my throat, well tried to.”
>The victim explained that the suspect’s attempt to slash her throat was unsuccessful as the box cutter’s blade retracted. She said her daughter then tried to intervene, but the suspect started attacking the 16-year-old, punching and stabbing her.
>The woman said when she attempted to stop the attack on her daughter, the suspect slashed the 40-year-old woman’s chest, resulting in her needing 11 stitches.
Terrifying, and no hesitation to use violence on the part of the suspects. No wonder we’re becoming a low trust society when around strangers.
>She noted that no one on the bus attempted to help them. “No one did anything,” she said. “They just watched.”
