If you see this guy hanging out in Philadelphia, you should probably call 911.

According to the Philadelphia Police Department, 24-year-old Khalil Robinson from West Philadelphia is on the loose after escaping from Presbyterian Hospital on Thursday morning.

Robinson was arrested on Wednesday night for driving under the influence and various narcotics offenses, say police, and he was receiving treatment at Presbyterian’s emergency room at 51 North 39th Street.

When it came time for a change in the prisoner detail at the hospital, one cop went to check and make sure that Robinson was cuffed to the bed. Well, apparently he was not.

Police say that Robinson simply jumped off the bed and started running. They chased him around the nurses’ station and out onto the street, where Robinson fled down Powelton Avenue. Officers lost him on the 3800 block of Warren Street.

Anyone with information is asked to call 911 or Southwest Detectives at 215-686-3183.
