JINAN, Nov. 28 (Xinhua) -- A man was sentenced to three years in prison Wednesday, for drunkenly grabbing the steering wheel of a bus he was a passenger on in east China's Shandong Province.

According to the court in Dongping County, Tai'an City, the man, surnamed Zhou, tried to grab the wheel after the bus driver refused his request to pull over at an intersection on April 21 this year. There were 18 passengers onboard.

Due to Zhou's actions, the bus veered suddenly and headed onto the shoulder after the driver applied emergency braking, causing damage to the right front tire and shock-absorbing airbag. No casualties were caused.

Zhou was convicted of endangering public security by dangerous means.
