NY: Handcuffed suspect steals police car, escapes

[seamusTX]

In New Jersey Wednesday, New York City police arrested a 27-year-old criminal suspect and put him in the back seat of a police car wearing handcuffs and leg shackles. They left him alone with the engine running.

The suspect took off in the car and escaped. The car was found with the handcuffs and leg shackles which the suspect had shed.

He was recaptured Thursday after police traced his cell phone to a motel in Connecticut.
