Police chase stolen bus through Los Angeles

Dramatic video shows police in pursuit of a hijacked Los Angeles Metropolitan Authority bus early Wednesday. After an hourslong pursuit, the bus ran over spike strips set by authorities before they safely removed the driver.

At least one passenger sustained a gunshot wound and was taken to a local hospital where he later died from his injuries.

I love that the front of the stolen bus is literally flashing "911 Call Police Emergency" 😂

For safety, the driver wears a seat belt.

“Police chase HIJACKED bus through LA.” Fixed the title.
The driver IS the bus driver who was held at gunpoint and forced to drive.

That happened to one of my coworkers in Phoenix. He was fairly new on the job. Handled it perfectly. But then days later, the psychological impact hit him. Ptsd, counseling, the whole works.

How could ever think he could have gotten away, he must have just had an impulsive angry outburst.

The driver actually kind of looks like a bus driver LOL😂

Horrible justice need to be done please 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[playversetv]

i think what happened here is that the driver was in hostage so he pressed an emergency button thats why you see that sign on the bus, it literally says "emergency, call 911"

I'm glad that the police caught them cause they had no business stealing a bus

[xpndblhero]

I feel bad for the guy riding by the door w/ his bike on the front.... He's probably never going to get that bike back from impound or evidence. 😂😂

[sandrarawn]

The police will get this guy. I pray no one gets hurt 😢

[ImJUDGEMENT]

The call the police it’s an emergency is a great feature I feel all public busses should have. I’m glad the driver is ok

[johnbanfield]

As is not usual. It wasn't so much a police chase, it was a police procession.

[shida]

First ticket, not stopping at red light😂

[reneemixon]

He shot and killed one male passenger before he was apprehended. Bus driver said “I’ll take that quiet midnight shift”. TF!!

They should have an off button for public bus.
