THIS is the shocking moment an inmate was seen fleeing prison, sprinting across fields to freedom.
The footage shows a lag, who is believed to be escaped prisoner Jamie Cooper, dashing through fenced fields after escaping from a prison van yesterday morning.
He’s seen wearing dark trousers and a black jacket over a white T-shirt as he turns multiple times to look over his shoulder.
The 33-year old was said to have “evaded” escort officers as he escaped from a prison van yesterday morning.
Security firm GEOAmey said he had “overpowered” staff escorting him to a court appearance after faking an “on-board medical emergency”.
Lancashire Police said the van was forced to pull over just before 9am on Wednesday before Cooper fought his way out of the van onto the M55 near junction two in Catforth, Preston.
He had been due to appear at Lancaster Magistrates’ Court to face charges of assaulting a police officer and criminal damage.
