In the first, Vlassich attempted to carjack a mother waiting for her kid to get off the school bus, but when he failed, he tried to board the school bus full of kids.
The mom grabbed Vlassich and threw him off of the bus.
The second victim was a man three blocks away.
Police said Vlassich confessed to everything.
