On March 1, early in the morning, a man stole an American Airlines bus from John F. Kennedy Airport and drove it through three boroughs of New York before being arrested, reports New York Post.
Shortly before 2 a.m., Burshon Quildon, 43, jumped into an unattended staff bus in parking lot 12 at the airport and drove off, police said.
Quildon was speeding down Grand Central Parkway when an airport watchman noticed the stolen bus and called 911, police said.
It's unclear if Quildon knew he was spotted, but he continued towards Manhattan and made his way on FDR Drive before crossing the Brooklyn Bridge, authorities said.
The police did not pursue Quildon during his pleasure trip, but they were fully equipped to get him safely off the bus at Cadman Plaza West, police said.

Brooklyn-based Quildon was arrested and charged with grand larceny and illegal possession of stolen property, police said. He is "known to the department" and mostly has a history of domestic violence.
According to police, he was last arrested in 2015 for robbery.
