A man accused of stealing a car in Philadelphia escaped police custody while in handcuffs at a hospital on Monday morning, authorities said.

Alleem Bordan, 29, remains on the run after fleeing from officers around 6:45 a.m. at Temple University Episcopal Hospital at 100 East Lehigh Avenue in Kensington, FOX29 Philadelphia reported.

Two officers were walking back to their patrol car when Bordan sprinted away. 

Bordan had his hands cuffed behind his back when he fled, the Philadelphia Police Department said. He was seen on surveillance video from a local gas station sprinting through its parking lot with his hands behind his back.
