"The suspect, a 15-year-old boy, was handcuffed to a bench at the NYPD's 78th Precinct, on Sixth Ave. near Bergen St. in Prospect Heights, when he managed to slip off his handcuffs around 11:42 a.m. Friday, cops said. Surveillance cameras recorded the suspect as he crawled on hands and knees through a side door into the precinct's lobby, then while crouching and keeping his head low, snuck past the reception desk and toward the exit."
"The suspect had just passed through a swinging gate and entered the public area of the lobby - just steps away from freedom - when an officer entered the room and spotted the escape attempt. The footage ends as the officer glances back toward the bench where the suspect was supposed to be handcuffed, before giving chase, with two other officers quickly darting out from behind the reception desk to join her."
A 15-year-old suspect handcuffed to a bench at the NYPD's 78th Precinct managed to slip off his restraints around 11:42 a.m. Friday. Surveillance footage shows him crawling on hands and knees through a side door into the precinct lobby, crouching and keeping his head low as he snuck past the reception desk toward the exit. He passed through a swinging gate into the public lobby area before an officer entered and spotted him. The officer and two colleagues gave chase. Officers apprehended the suspect about two blocks away at Sixth Ave. and St. Marks Ave. He has been charged in the escape attempt and his name is withheld due to his age. A police spokesman could not immediately say why he was detained.
