A Los Angeles homeless man is in custody after allegedly hijacking a city bus using a BB gun.  Authorities said he was the last person on the bus and approached the driver on Wednesday night.  He ordered the bus driver to travel to multiple locations, hitting multiple vehicles along the way. 

As the bus neared the Ritz-Carlton hotel, about two-and-half miles from where it was hijacked, the suspect grabbed the wheel and caused the bus to strike several cars before crashing through a wall into the hotel. 

The suspect fled the scene on foot but was quickly detained by officers.
