Earlier today, a 55-year-old man boarded a GO Transit bus in Brantford that was heading to Hamilton. According to witnesses, during the trip, the man—who appeared dishevelled—was talking to himself and mentioned a gun.
Passengers who overheard him became concerned and contacted the police.
Both the OPP and Halton Regional Police Services followed the bus, and, when it arrived at the Aldershot GO station in Burlington, police boarded the bus and took the man into custody.
