Driver traps thief in the doors of his vehicle… then drops him off at the police station (Photos)

A quick-thinking bus driver trapped a thief in his doors and drove him to the police station with his legs dangling from the vehicle, reports Daily Mail.

The crook had stolen from a passenger on the bus and pictures of the swiftly administered justice shows the criminal painfully trapped in the bus’ pneumatic doors with his jeans-clad legs poking out.

Colombian passers-by in Villa Hermosa, a neighbourhood in the capital of Bogota, misread the situation and tried to pull the doors open but the driver jolted forward to stop them, allowing passengers on board to tell them he was being held on purpose.

Painfully swallowed up by the doors, the unnamed

thief is unable to free himself as traffic clears and the bus continues on its journey.

The hero driver diverted from his planned route and took the thief straight to the nearest police station.

District police commandant Diego Vasquez said: ‘The driver supported authorities’ work and immediately closed the door so that this man was not able to finish the robbery, and was trapped in the bus instead.’

But the thief’s victim, a woman from whom he had stolen a mobile phone, did not press charges and so police had to release him.
