26-year-old Isaac Thompson allegedly fled custody at around 8.15pm Sunday while he was being escorted from an ambulance into the Emergency Department at Royal Darwin Hospital.
Police say the man – a known associate of the Mongols Outlaw Motorcycle Gang – was handcuffed and only wearing a pair of shorts and socks at the time, and he was last seen running along Rocklands Road.
