PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A Philadelphia 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,Ethermac Exchange police said Monday.

Alleem Bordan, 29, had been arrested after he was found asleep early Sunday in a car that had been reported stolen Thursday while the owner was making a food delivery, Deputy Commissioner Frank Vanore said. Bordan complained of pain early Monday and was taken to Temple University Hospital’s Episcopal Campus in northeast Philadelphia.

Bordan — who police said sometimes has used the spelling Borden — was being walked back to a vehicle by two officers after he was discharged from the hospital when he ran from them and escaped, still with his hands cuffed behind him, Vanore said.

Bordan, described as 5-foot-6 (168 centimeters) and 145 pounds (65 kilograms) with braids and a beard, has other arrests in Philadelphia and elsewhere, including two other vehicle thefts, but is not considered dangerous, Vanore said. Anyone spotting him is being asked to call 911.

A message seeking comment was sent Monday to the Defender Association of Philadelphia, listed in court documents as representing Bordan.

On Jan. 24, a teenager awaiting trial in a homicide case escaped from staff members of the city’s juvenile detention center outside a different Philadelphia hospital. He was recaptured five days later by federal marshals.
