Harris County authorities are on high alert as a 27-year-old suspect, Carlos Molina Hernandez, escaped from custody at the Ben Taub Hospital in Houston, Texas. According to the Harris County Sheriff's Office (HCSO), Hernandez, who was handcuffed at the time of his escape, had been taken into custody earlier that day after an aggravated assault call in the 9800 block of Berry Orchard Lane.
The incident occurred when HCSO officers responded to a report of a violent altercation in the area. Upon arrival, they took Hernandez into custody and transported him to the hospital for treatment. However, it appears that during the transfer process, Hernandez managed to break free from his restraints, allowing him to escape.
A massive manhunt is currently underway to locate Hernandez, who is considered armed and dangerous.
