Shackled Prisoner Jumps From Squad Car Going 70mph

<snip>

A shackled Queens man hurled himself out of a police car going 70 mph on a North Carolina highway yesterday - in a brazen attempt to escape justice for abducting his wife.
In a dramatic scene witnessed by a Daily News reporter and photographer, Miguel Carrasquillo hit Interstate 40 head and shoulder first and rolled about a dozen times off the road into grass and mud.

The cruiser slammed on the brakes. A trailing unmarked police car and The News' vehicle swerved wildly to avoid the would-be Houdini, whose hands were cuffed in front of him and linked to a chain around his waist.

The suspect's face and arms were bloody. A hole was ripped in the back of his white T-shirt. But he wouldn't give up his fight.

Carrasquillo, 33, propped himself up on his knees as cops screamed at him to be still. At one point he seemed to be pleading with police as blood poured down his mud-caked face.

3. Didn't they lock the doors?

I thought you couldn't open the doors in the back of a police car. Not that I've ever been in one. That's why I have to ask. Yep. Totally law-abiding citizen here. Yep.

Anyway, yikes! I would have thought that would kill you instantly. Ouch!

4. F-Him

Typical Chicken Sh*t abusive husband type. Shoots a guy in the face at his wife's job and drags her out of the office by her hair. Then terrorizes her for 2 days on a freakin bus telling her he is gonna kill her and then himself. This guy's a piece of human debris.

About on the same level as the baby tosser from two days ago...

This guy should fry...the scumbag...they should have run him over...

Sorry for rant. I hate thugs like this...
