Brooklyn Paper
Cops falsely claimed
that an escaped robbery
suspect had been re-apprehended
after slipping
police custody in handcuffs
in Brooklyn Heights
on Monday morning, and
now say the fugitive remains
on the lam.
Police were transporting
the suspect from the
60th Precinct in Coney Island
to Central Booking
on Schermerhorn Street
between Smith Street and
Boerum Place when he escaped
police custody a little
after 11 am, authorities
confirmed.
Police claimed they’d recaptured
the man later that
day, before admitting their
mistake Tuesday.
“Yesterday there was a
misunderstanding, but he
has not been apprehended,”
said Officer Arlene Muniz,
a spokeswoman for the police
department.
Cops originally claimed
that they found and reapprehended
the suspect
sometime before 3:15 pm,
but have since reneged on
that statement.
The wanted man — who
was arrested in Coney Island
on robbery charges —
slipped police custody and
fled southbound on Court
Street near Atlantic Avenue
while still handcuffed, according
to social crime-reporting
app Citizen .
Dozens of police cars
and helicopters canvassed
the area for hours, and local
schools were put on lockdown
during the hunt, according
to Citizen.
The police vehicles have
now subsided, and authorities
have not commented
on the ongoing search.
Cops described the man
as five-foot-nine, with hair
in cornrows, a light beard
and mustache. He was last
seen wearing sky blue tshirt
under a military
green track suit with orange
stripes.
