Escaped Psychiatric Patient Captured After Two Days on the Run

The 40-year-old man, who requires regular medication, fled during a supervised outing in Berlin and was apprehended in Dresden.

The 40-year-old man escaped from a Berlin psychiatric hospital on Monday, March 10, during a supervised outing.
Authorities described the man as suffering from a serious mental illness requiring regular medication and warned the public not to approach him.
The Berlin police launched a public search, sharing the man's photo and urging anyone with information to contact them immediately.
The man was located and arrested in Dresden two days later and will be returned to Berlin for further proceedings.
The escape raised questions about security protocols during supervised outings for psychiatric patients in secure facilities.
