Cops Arrest Naked Man After Bus Hijacking

DORAVILLE, Ga. – Police arrested a naked man Thursday morning after he hijacked a private school’s bus.

The man, who was not identified as of Thursday afternoon, was involved in a wreck with the school bus. As police arrived at the accident scene, the man stole the bus, made a U-turn and led officers on a slow-speed chase into oncoming traffic, said Doraville police Capt. C.D. Atkinson.

Two truck drivers – driving a concrete pumper truck and a tractor trailer – eventually blocked the bus’ path, a Doraville police report states.

“They cornered him, pinned him up against the retaining wall,” Atkinson said.

The driver was naked when police arrested him. He had suffered a few scrapes and was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital for treatment and a mental evaluation.

Atkinson said charges are pending. He would not comment on the suspect’s state of mind or if he appeared inebriated.

Doraville Police Chief John King told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution the man spat at emergency medical technicians, which could warrant charges if he has any communicable diseases.

The bus driver had not yet picked up the children to take them to Atlanta International School. The incident occurred about 6:30 a.m., Atkinson said.
