A manhunt is underway in Florida after a handcuffed suspect who had complained of chest pains escaped from a hospital and fled in a waiting Maserati on Saturday, authorities said.
Theodric Collins, 36, was taken into custody by U.S. Customs and Border Patrol at the Port of Miami for multiple out-of-state warrants, the Miami-Dade Police Department said.
Collins, however, complained of chest pains once in custody and was taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital for evaluation. Collins was medically cleared just before 2:30 p.m.
As a Miami-Dade officer began to transport Collins to the department’s Warrants Bureau, police said Collins escaped to a waiting silver Maserati waiting outside while still in handcuffs.

Investigators described Collins as standing 5 feet, 9 inches tall with a medium build.
