Suprised no one posted this - last night approx 18:15 - some sort of incident occured at QE2 Hospital - (Which I think is Charlies) - a male prisoner in custody receiving treatment - escaped custody - allegedly arming him self with a scalpal(knife) - he had a shackle to the ankle from Rangeview - and escaped towards Kings Park.

POI - is a high profile motor vehicle theif - and within 20mins did steal a White Toyota Corolla - unknown direction of travel...

this all happend on Channel34 - a metro-area broadcast went out - to all divisions... unsure on the result from this...

I called Aunty's Eyes - to give him a heads up on the situation to see if the news crews heard anything....

Did anything happen after this?? POI in custody???

"Ladies and Gental men , theres a dangerous man on the loose but we /cant tell you who he is or what he looks like" - Channel 7 news (27/9/07)

i work in the media industry and it frustrates me that we cannot name or identify offenders for 'their safety'... seriously FRUSTRATING haha

news report mentioned he was caught tonight
