A 22-year-old man escaped in handcuffs Tuesday around 2:30 p.m. from the 17th District Court on Beech-Daly Road in Redford Township, WXYZ reports.
Neighbors spotted Justin Baldwin around Beech- Daily Road and 5 Mile. Police recaptured him around 5 p.m., reports Aaron Baskerville of WXYZ.
A resident in the neighborhood, Paul Schilling, told WDIV that he actually helped catch the man by holding him until police came (see video below).
"I was outside picking up my cat and taking him in and all of the sudden I saw him break through the wall and he was running. I jumped on my bike, which I just got from my girlfriend for my 63rd birthday, and I was able to keep up with him coming down the streets and I come down the alley and he was in the backyard. Police went that way and I came this way ... I jumped up on the rail, he was standing there and I said, 'Put your hands up!' He had one cuff off so I grabbed him by the one cuff and held his hands together ... and the police came in and tackled him," said Schilling.
The escapee had just been arraigned on armed robbery charges.
Baskerville asked the suspect who was in the back seat of a police car why he ran.
"I'm black and they're trying to mess me over," he said.
