Man Tries To Escape From Police On TTC Bus
A man allegedly fleeing from police early Tuesday evening had an interesting choice of getaway car: a TTC bus.
Officers say that they stopped they accused around 6pm, just to ask him a few questions. But the suspect took off, boarding a transit vehicle in his haste to escape.
Cops stopped the bus rather quickly and forced the suspect to walk back the way he came. On the way they allegedly found a loaded .357 Magnum revolver with five .357 calibre rounds of ammunition.
