BUS-TED: MAN TRIES TO HIJACK COACH AT KNIFEPOINT

FENDER BENDER

HIS journey took him straight to jail, after he threatened a bus driver with a knife and tried to take over the vehicle. 
Robert Fender bender, 43, jumped on at the terminal in Redding, CA brandished the blade at the 58-year-old Phillip Drake and told him: "he was going to drive." 
Luckily Drake was able to step off the bus without any harm and Fender tried to close the door, cops said. 
When the driver tried to stop the suspect the would-be hijacker tried to stab him. 
Quick thinking Drake then ran to the side of the bus where he was able to activate a kill switch, which disabled engine and brought Fender's hair brained scheme to a quick end.

He was being held Sunday on $100,000 bail on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon, terrorist threats, carjacking and displaying a weapon in a threatening manner.
It's unknown if Fender has an attorney, and a phone listing for him is disconnected.
