Police evacuated more than a dozen passengers this morning following a bomb threat on a GO Transit bus travelling on Highway 407 near Derry Road in Mississauga.
A passenger first approached the driver after the man allegedly began swearing and telling others that he had an explosive, said GO Transit spokeswoman Anne Marie Aikins.
Ontario Provincial Police say they put the bus on lockdown sometime between 10 a.m. and 11 a.m. after the driver called 911. Police spoke with the suspect on a cellphone and tried to get him to leave the bus, said Aikins.
Police began allowing the 17 passengers to leave the bus before they boarded and arrested the suspect, Aikins said.
