The escape attempt was noticed by a correctional officer who tried to restrain the escapee, but sustained minor injuries to his hands Spiegel reports.
The police were informed immediately and launched a search for the fugitive, but this was initially unsuccessful. Police were unable to provide information regarding the convict's original convictions and current allegations. However, they assured that the fugitive would not pose a danger to the public. The man was wearing a white shirt and dark pants and is described as bald, 1.90 meters tall and slim, reports said RND.
