A man’s behind bars after going full GTA in Chicago ... stealing an ambulance, plowing into cars, and injuring multiple people ... and the start of the chase was caught on camera!

A patient at Loretto Hospital reportedly ran up to the ambulance parked at the hospital, got into the driver's seat and took off. Check out the video ... the ambulance slams straight into a cop car before driving away ... followed seconds later by gunshots and a swarm of police cruisers with smoking tires in hot pursuit.

Pete Davidson and Colin Jost turned their infamous Staten Island Ferry drama into comedy gold on "Saturday Night Live" this weekend ... poking fun at the "money-losing fiasco" that's been haunting them since 2022.

The duo, who bought the decommissioned ferry with plans to turn it into a floating entertainment venue, reunited at the "Weekend Update" desk, and Pete wasted no time roasting their investment. "So yeah, in case you're wondering why I had to do a show in Saudi Arabia ... we're losing millions on this ferry," he joked.

Pete, who's expecting his first child, added, "I assume that's what the article says; I can’t spend $5 on a paywall when I got a kid on the way." He also quipped, "I'm just excited to be a dad and give it all the energy and enthusiasm I never had for this show."

A seemingly overcaffeinated McDonald's customer threw a cup of hot coffee on a worker during a heated argument over her order -- and now she's on the run.

The Justice Department's case against Sean Dunn turned out to be a tall order ... because a jury of his peers found Washington, D.C.'s so-called "Sandwich Guy" not guilty of misdemeanor assault on Thursday.

FYI ... Dunn was arrested in August after he chucked a sandwich at Customs and Border Patrol Agent Gregory Lairmore during a night out in Washington, D.C.'s U Street corridor.

He was charged with felony assault on law enforcement, and Dunn's actions went viral on social media. Much of D.C.'s population rallied around the former paralegal, who was fired following the incident, according to NBC News.

A federal grand jury rejected the felony charge, however, and Dunn later faced a single misdemeanor count of assault -- which he ended up beating.

Lairmore testified the sandwich "exploded" on him and covered him in mustard and onions ... but a photo showed the hoagie was still wrapped up and mostly intact when it hit the ground.

Lairmore reportedly received gag gifts from his fellow officers ... of a plush sandwich toy and a patch featuring a cartoon of Dunn launching his torpedo sub. Dunn's defense argued the gifts showed the incident was not an impactful event on him.

Investigators announced Wednesday they'd recovered the flight and data recorders from the crash as they try to figure out what caused the disaster. While they already knew the left engine had fallen off the MD-11 jet ... they don't yet know why it separated from the plane.
