Overview

• Witness video from Sept. 2 shows a shirtless prisoner with restraints pushing through a broken rear window of a transport van in Oklahoma City.
• The footage, posted to TikTok and later shared by NBC News, captures the man waving to drivers and appearing to tug at the back door.
• Oklahoma’s Department of Corrections described the trip as a routine transport and said the situation was contained after the van left the interstate.
• Witnesses, including videographer Tiggin Martin, estimated the episode lasted about two minutes before the van pulled to the shoulder.
• Officials have not released the inmate’s identity, and coverage notes it is unclear whether a formal investigation is underway.
