A violent criminal escapes court after being given a 16 month sentence

According to the Liverpool Echo, the defendant had denied the charges and initially buried his head in his hands after being informed of his sentence. He was allowed a brief interaction with his mother before officers attempted to lead him to the cells, at which point Bunclark vaulted out of the unsecured dock. He escaped after a brief tussle in which officers were unable to restrain him.

"The strict security measures we have in place ensure escapes from court custody are extremely rare," a spokesman for HM Courts and Tribunals said.

Merseyside Police issued a photograph of the offender in the hope that it would help lead to his recapture.
