A manhunt is underway in Florida after a handcuffed suspect complained of chest pains and fled a hospital in a waiting Maserati on Saturday, authorities said.
Theodoric Collins, 36, was taken into custody by U.S. Customs and Border Protection at the Port of Miami on multiple out-of-state warrants, according to the Miami-Dade Police Department.
However, while in custody, Collins complained of chest pains and was taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital for evaluation. Collins was released from the hospital after a medical check just before 2:30 p.m.
As Miami-Dade police officers began transporting Collins to the department's Warrants Bureau, police said Collins fled, handcuffed, to a silver Maserati waiting outside.
