Video footage shows man kicking through front door of TTC bus

There sure are less violent, messy and illegal ways of exiting a TTC bus.
Video footage of an unidentified man kicking through the bottom of a TTC bus front door and slipping through an opening he made was recently posted on Instagram via the 6ixbuzztv account.
“It happened around noon-hour on Friday at Front and Jarvis,” TTC spokesperson Stuart Green confirmed.
“The passenger wanted to get off while the bus was in the left turn lane. The operator advised they’d be let off after the bus turned and was able to stop at the curb. The person broke through door after the bus turned and was stopped and fled south on Jarvis. The bus had to be taken out of service.”
Patience, in this case, wasn’t a virtue.
“He kicked out the glass and squeezed through the opening while the bus was stopped and the operator was ready to open to door,” said Green.
It’s not known yet if Toronto Police are pursuing the suspect and, if so, what charges he might be facing.
