Over Saint Marks, Vanderbilt. Hard to see beyond the rain clouds, but low and loud. Any idea why?

    They're circling around Newswalk (535 Dean) right now.  Three cops with flashlights are searching under the cars parked in the city lot across the street; another patrol car is searching the garage under the Newswalk building.

    There was more than one helicopter. Lots of cops on underhill too.

    Cops just came into the house I'm at in Fort Greene. Checked the house for him. Apparently he's wearing handcuffs and jumped over a small fence before getting away

    Here's the full MNS "burst":

    Which I understand to mean that a male, black escaped from a police vehicle while still wearing handcuffs.

    I suspect Darnell Thomas will be pretty quickly caught.

    ....Given the circumstances, he seems at high risk of being "roughed up a bit" in the process.

    He picked a nasty night to run. You can't make fools of people and not be prepared for a bit of payback. Not gonna be pretty

    The NYPD generally don't like it when their incompetence is exposed. But them again they've shown some restraint lately. Seriously, how does a handcuffed criminal get out of a cruiser and run around for 5 hours?

    Nope, nothing here. 

    Off topic, but does anyone have a hacksaw that I could borrow?  Also, some aloe salve.. my wrists are killing me. 

    Kthxbye

    dac, I'm afraid I don't. However I know a great place you could lay low and chill out until people calm down. 

    On topic: Apparently he is still on the lam.

    Well, a handcuffed man managed to escape police custody during a heavy rainstorm and is still on the loose.  I'm sure that precinct has a lot of 'splaining to do.
