PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Police say a man arrested in Center City, Philadelphia, escaped from custody after being taken to the hospital Monday morning.
According to PPD, Richard Renzo, also known as Richard White, was arrested just after 3 a.m. on the 800 block of Market Street on a grand larceny warrant out of New York City. Renzo was also wanted in Philly on an open probation warrant, police said.
Renzo was taken to Jefferson University Hospital in Center City after complaining of shoulder pain. In a news release Monday, PPD said the injury "occurred prior to police contact."
