Burshawn Quildon, 43, hopped inside the employee bus, which was left unattended and idling in Lot 12 of the airport, just before 2 a.m., and drove off, cops said.
Quildon was whizzing down the Grand Central Parkway when an eagle-eyed airport employee spotted the stolen bus and called 911, cops said.
It’s unclear if Quildon knew he had been spotted — but he continued driving into Manhattan and weaved his way along the FDR Drive before crossing over the Brooklyn Bridge, authorities said. Police did not chase Quildon during his joyride, but they were in place to safely pull him over just over the bridge, at Cadman Plaza West, cops said. The entire pre-dawn excursion spanned about 17 miles. Quildon, of Brooklyn, was arrested and charged with grand larceny and criminal possession of stolen property, cops said.He was last arrested in 2015 for a domestic-related robbery, cops said.
