SEYMOUR, Ind. (WISH) — A game during a bus trip ended Tuesday with a knife in a man’s leg and him and his girlfriend in jail, police said.
About 6 a.m., Indiana State Police and the Seymour Police Department responded to a gas station and convenience store at 2119 E. Tipton St. — just off the U.S. 50 exit — to investigate a report of a stabbing that occurred on a MegaBus southbound on Interstate 65 south of Seymour.
