“He ran away from the staff and it just so happened that the bus pulled up at the same time,” Hall said.
Williams rode the train for more than 3 hours, and had never been on a bus or train before. He was last seen leaving the Glenmont Metro Station before being found safe and unharmed Thursday. Montgomery County police did not share any other details about how or where he was found.
