Dessau-Roßlau (dpa/sa) - In Dessau-Roßlau, a prisoner's attempt to escape was foiled. The 22-year-old wanted to use a detention review appointment at the Dessau-Roßlau district court to escape on Thursday afternoon, as a spokesman for the Ministry of Justice in Magdeburg said. When leaving the vehicle that had brought him from Halle to Dessau, the prisoner tore himself free. A judicial officer followed and asked him. The 22-year-old put up fierce resistance.
According to the spokesman, the man has been convicted of several crimes, including robbery. However, the judgment is not yet final, the revision is ongoing.
