Victim stabbed by alleged ISIS supporter aboard B.C. bus says attack was unprovoked

(Global News) The victim slashed in the neck by an alleged ISIS supporter aboard a transit bus in B.C. says the attack was unprovoked.

“I wasn’t expecting it at all,” the resident of Surrey, B.C., told his family in text messages written from the hospital.

“There was absolutely no altercation or anything like that before he attacked,” said the victim, who Global News is not naming at his request.

The attacker “seemed a little off” when he boarded the bus in Surrey on Saturday morning, the man said in the series of texts.

“He said nothing. Just thought he tripped, then I seen the knife. Then self-defence mode kicked in. Managed to push him off the bus.”
