At the start of the journey the driver said lets head off, think this bloke took it the wrong way!

37 passengers and nobody stepped in to try and save him...nice.

Might see some reasonably priced hats on ebay soon.

So if you saw some nutter decapitating someone with a fu4k off great big knife you'd be in there would you?

I would have a go yes.He must have been facing the guy, so what's wrong with jumping on him and shouting for others to help do the same? I couldn't stand by and watch someone getting stabbed to death, it's just never going to happen.

Yes, I would have asked him to stop making a bloody mess.

The newspapers are going to have a fieldday with this headline.

Fair play to ya fella, you're obviously a harder man than me. I think I'd just be freaked out if I saw that. Maybe this is sad but I think most of the people around me would also be freaked and wouldn't risk helping.

If you jumped in first I like to think I'd help, but I can't say for sure. Let's hope neither of us ever has to make that call.

It's just internet posturing. It's easy to sit in your chair tapping away at the keyboard and say that you'd dive in and do something but lets get real here for a moment. To see a madman sawing away at someone's neck with a humongous knife is something that noone will ever have experienced before (unlesss you're in Al Qaeda) and I truly believe it would be a case of st yerself and run for your life. I know I would. Luckily we're all unlikely to be in the situation to put it to the test.

All very true in many cases, but there always will be those who will think about their actions after the event, but will just act when something like this happens.I just couldn't sit there and not do something.The shock is probably the thing which would drive me forward if I am honest.I have had several instances in my life where only later I thought about the consequences of my actions.I'm not alone either thankfuly, it has nothing to do with being 'hard' though and I fully understand those who would avoid such confrontations.I wouldn't label anyone as weak etc for wanting to distance themselves from something like this! I just couldn't spend the rest of my life wondering if I could have done something to help, it would eat away at me.

A bus is also a very tight enviroment, so you would have a much better chance of overpowering someone.

Thats probably more to his advantage. how can you surround him when there are seats in the way? and hes got a big knife slashing away.

Ive stepped in 3 times in my life not ended up in violence but they didnt exactly go as planned either.

in this case big knife victim already stabbed I think I would be inclined to run if two or 3 others jumped him then yes Id go in as well. all I'm saying is I wouldnt be first. you would be surprised how little back up you would get.

Lets be real for a sec someone who is hacking away at someones neck with a rambo knife isnt going to put the knife down if you offer him a bit of fisty cuffs. Unless you have trained all your life you wont be any use against an agro'd up guy wielding a big knife.

I think the driver and passengers did the only sensible thing to do, contain the nutter and wait for the police, if someone had jumped in you may be reading about a couple of people beheaded and the guy making a get-away.

I wouldn't expect him to be surrounded, but someone squashing him into a corner and others around or behind seats (which will also offer protection) grabbing hold of limbs, should allow you to get the upper hand.It may not go as planned of course, but again, I wouldn't be thinking much about that, nor would I be wondering if anyone else was likely to help.It's black and white for me.Someone is being stabbed to death, my natural instinct would be to help.It would be much the same if I saw a grizzly bear ripping someone to bits.Yes, I could and probably should run, but I know I wouldn't.Call it stupidity if you like

Like I said. Fair play to you Digby and I hope we never have to find out.

You obviously have confidence in your physical ability and belive your actions and charisma will inspire those around you, I thought your first post in this thread was a little cavalier, I certainly don't have have either.
