TTC bus hijacked

Meanwhile, in another unusual vehicle-related incident in Leaside late Sunday, a woman faces multiple charges after she allegedly forced a TTC bus driver to go off-route.

According to police, the 36-year-old woman boarded at Eglinton subway station around 11: 30 p.m. and was the only passenger inside the 32A bus at the time.

She allegedly told the driver she had a weapon and demanded he take an alternate route.

The driver managed to hit an emergency alarm in the bus, and police were notified.

When officers approached the bus in a cruiser, the woman told the driver not to stop. Police manoeuvred around the transit bus and were able to force it to slow down. It came to a halt after rear-ending the cruiser.

The woman was arrested and charged with kidnapping and assault with a weapon.
