A Fort Worth man is under arrest after taking an unattended ambulance on a joyride, Dallas police said.

Where did he take it? Jack in the Box.

The Dallas Morning News reports 24-year-old My Nguyen grabbed the ambulance from Baylor University Medical Center in Old East Dallas about 3:20 a.m.

Police caught up with the man 30 minutes later at a Jack in the Box parking lot about a half mile away from the hospital, Fox 4 reports. The man said he took the vehicle because he was hungry, police told the station.

The man is charged with unauthorized use of a motor vehicle. Dallas County Jail records show he was booked at 6:36 a.m. Sunday.
