A manhunt is underway in the Northern Territory’s capital after a man sensationally vaulted a glass dock to escape court.
Brandt Graham, 44, fled from the Darwin Local Court about 9.50am on Friday and has remained on the run since then.
According to the Northern Territory Police Force, Mr Bandt was in the custody of G4S court security at the time.
Mr Bandt scaled an eight-foot glass-enclosed dock before running from the courtroom while chased by staff, the NT News reported.
CCTV from ABC Darwin’s office, across the road from the courthouse, appeared to captured the wanted fugitive running in a green long-sleeved top and black shorts.
Police say Mr Bandt may have been sighted hours later at Doctors Gully about 10.40am.
“Police believe he remains in the Darwin region, and he is being actively assisted to evade capture,” NT Police said.
“The public are urged not to approach him and to contact police immediately via triple-0 if sighted.”
