Excerpt from the article (short answer - they were RUNNING AWAY FAST!!):
According to reports, McLean had been asleep, his cheek pressed against the window of the bus when his assailant struck suddenly, stabbing him repeatedly in the chest with a "big Rambo knife."
The other 34 passengers and the driver were jolted by "blood-curdling screams" and fled, bracing the door on their way out to trap the assailant inside the bus, witness Garnet Caton told public broadcaster CBC.
Thank you. I guess i should have read the article. I was aware of the incident from various sources but no details.
Still reprehensible.
