Cops were able to catch up to the driver after the owner turned the bus' GPS on and tracked it down at 148th Avenue and Jackie Robinson Parkway.

Authorities said the suspect was tasered, but at some point continued to drive, striking multiple parked cars before crashing into a East New York building.

Police said the man then drove off again, striking the back of a car on Atlantic Avenue, before the drive came to an end in East New York.

At that point, officers said they arrested the suspect. Police said he and a bystander suffered minor injuries.
