Police hunt prisoner who escaped hospital for second time
Police have launched a manhunt for a dangerous prisoner who escaped from custody at a south London hospital. Daniel Boakye, a twenty-one-year-old gang member serving a sentence for armed robbery, fled Lewisham Hospital on Sunday afternoon. This incident marks his second escape in a single week, having previously absconded from a different facility days earlier. Officers are currently searching for the convict, who is reportedly awaiting deportation to Ghana following his prison term.
