Jail for man who took Dublin Bus and later committed robbery

A drug addict who briefly drove a Dublin Bus after assaulting the driver and later committed a robbery has been given a three-and-a-half-year sentence.

Mark Dwyer (34) became angry at the bus driver after missing his stop and after an altercation on the street with him he got back on the bus which moved a short distance at five to 10 miles per hour until two passengers brought it to a stop when Dwyer jumped off.
