(Denver-AP) -- Several Greyhound bus passengers whose trip was interrupted by a hijacker yesterday have reached their destination in Denver.
Authorities say Antonio Hernandez of Lexington, Nebraska used a knife to take control of the bus yesterday, just after it left Green River, Utah for Grand Junction, Colorado.
He allegedly ordered everybody off the bus except the driver and was captured an hour-and-a-half later.
No one was seriously hurt.
The 58 passengers remained in Green River until they were picked up by a relief bus.
The bus arrived in Denver early this morning. Several passengers got off before the bus continued on to Chicago.
Hernandez is being held at the Grand County Jail in Moab.
