PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Authorities in Philadelphia say a car theft suspect who had his hands cuffed behind him fled from two police officers outside a hospital where he had been taken for examination. Deputy Commissioner Frank Vanore said 29-year-old Alleem Bordan was taken to a northeast Philadelphia hospital after complaining of pain early Monday. Vanore said Bordan was being walked back to a vehicle by two officers when he bolted case from them and escaped. Last month, a teenager awaiting trial in a homicide escaped from juvenile detention staff outside a different Philadelphia hospital but was recaptured five days later.
