A suspected armed robber arrested by the police for attacking a Goil filling station in Sunyani has escaped from the regional hospital where he was receiving treatment.
A source at the hospital told the GNA that the suspect, who had sustained gunshot wounds during his arrest, was admitted at the hospital for treatment.
A police constable assigned to guard the suspect handcuffed him to the bed and allegedly left the ward in the night to his residence.
The hospital source said the police constable returned the following morning to find out that the robber had managed to break free from the handcuff and had escaped from the hospital.
After fruitlessly combing the hospital premises in search of the suspect, the constable then reported the matter to his superiors.
When contacted by newsmen the police declined to say anything about the incident but said efforts were being made to re-arrest the escapee.
