The man, whose name has not been released, then boarded the bus and dragged a woman off at gunpoint, Parish said.
A joint investigation by DeKalb and MARTA police led officers to a home a couple of miles away on Tree Bark Trail, Parish said.
After a standoff with SWAT officer, the suspect surrendered.
Parish said early Friday afternoon that police had not yet found the kidnapping victim. She did not know the relationship between the suspect and victim.
