Prisoner escapes custody at court

A prisoner made a daring escape from the Kingston and St Andrew Parish Court during a routine appearance today. 
The individual, who was brought to court on a bench warrant, fled the courtroom, triggering an immediate response from law enforcement. The escape took place in the downstairs section of the courthouse, where the prisoner, whose identity has not yet been disclosed, took advantage of the moment to dash out.
Members of the Jamaica Constabulary Force quickly gave chase and successfully apprehended him just a few metres away on Maxfield Avenue. The swift action by the officers ensured that the situation was contained and the fugitive was returned to custody without further incident.
