AND IN HANDCUFFS.
CBS 2'S DAVE CARLIN IS LIVE
WITH MORE ON THAT.
REPORTER: POLICE ARE LOOKING
FOR A MAN IN HIS 20S WHO THEY
HAD IN CUSTODY UNTIL THEY

NOW THIS MAN ARRESTED,
ALLEGEDLY SHOPLIFTING AT THE

CAR AND HE GOT AWAY.

CLEAR.
HERE ARE REACTIONS FROM PEOPLE
WHO LIVE AROUND HERE.
MISTAKES HAPPEN.
HE WAS SHOPLIFTING.
I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU WOULD RUN
FROM THE COPS IF YOU WERE
SHOPLIFTING.
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO JAIL FOR 20
YEARS FOR THAT.
BUT RUNNING FROM THE COPS IS
PROBABLY KIND OF --
THAT'S CRAZY.
I DON'T KNOW HOW HE DID THAT.
BUT A LOT OF PEOPLE DO CRAZY
THINGS THESE DAYS.
WE'VE SEEN ABOUT TWO DOZEN
OFFICERS RIGHT HERE AT THIS
INTERSECTION GOING INTO
RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS AND
LOOKING FOR THIS ESCAPEE.
WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT HIM,
ACCORDING TO POLICE, HE'S 5-11
AND HE WAS WEARING ALL GREEN
CLOTHING.
LAST SEEN RUNNING DOWN 102nd
STREET TOWARD PARK AVENUE,
STILL IN THOSE HANDCUFFS.
