Police said the company called police and identified the suspect as recently-fired worker, Robert Henry, 25.

A GPS tracking device on the bus allowed the company to relay information to cops.

About 25 minutes later, police caught up to the suspect on Plaza Street West in Park Slope near Prospect Park.
