A drunk 25-year-old man stole a city bus last night in Rijeka, Croatia, drove it illegally and crashed into a car before being stopped and taken into custody by police.

The HINA news agency reports that the 25-year-old took advantage of the fact that the driver left the city bus with the engine running during a break and drove it away.

He was riding a bus through the center of Rijeka and ran into a car, then continued on, but was quickly stopped by traffic police.

It was determined that he was driving with a blood alcohol content of 1,27 per mille and, of course, without having passed the bus driving test.

Due to endangering traffic safety, a total fine of 5.820 euros and a prison sentence of up to 60 days are proposed, the police said, and he was also reported for the criminal offense of "unauthorized use of another person's movable property" and taken into custody.
