Canadian man hijacks bus to take him to Tim Horton's
Tim Horton's donuts are universally acclaimed -- and some people will do anything to get them.
On Friday, at approximately 12:30 am, a 31-year-old man hijacked a Toronto bus and held it up at knifepoint. He allegedly forced the driver to drive through several lights, and speed to his ultimate dream destination: Tim Horton's.

Passengers fled the bus after the man arrived and pulled out a knife. The driver then departed from his normal route. After arriving at the Tim Horton's/McDonald's joint parking lot, the man walked into Tim Horton's, where he was arrested by police.
While the driver reported feeling "shaken," there were no other known injuries. The man heads to Newmarket Court later today, where he'll face criminal charges. His name has yet to be released.
It is unclear what donut, exactly, the assailant was after. The strawberry chocolate cake donut? The cinnamon sugar cake donut? The Canadian maple donut? Perhaps he should have come at the end of the day, when the donuts are stale but vendors sometimes give out pastries for free.
A Tim Horton donut isn't worth jail time. An Entenmann's donut -- well that's up for grabs.
