A video recently emerged shows a man convicted of murder attempting to run away from police moments after his hearing, resulting in additional charges for escaping custody.
According to Toronto police, the body-camera video was first taken on May 6, moments after Ryan Andrews had received a second-degree murder conviction.
As he was being escorted by court officers on York Street just in front of the Ice Condos, the man broke free and tried running away on foot. Multiple officers are then seen chasing after Andrews, who is caught shortly after near the York and Bremner streets intersection.
Andrews was then charged with Escape Lawful Custody for attempting to run from the officers.

Andrews was first arrested and charged with first degree murder on Feb. 9, 2023, after he was found to be involved in a hit-and-run in the Danforth and Cedarvale avenues area, which left 25-year-old child actor Gabriel del Castillo Mullally dead.
At the time, police revealed that Mullaly was drinking outside of a local establishment at around 4 a.m., when a man left the scene and later struck him on the sidewalk with a car, quickly fleeing the scene. He was taken to the hospital, where he later died.
Mullally was best known for his work as a junior actor in the local cinema scene for Amy George (2011) and Tati (2013), and had been attending the Toronto Metropolitan University at the time.
In May of this year, when the video was taken, Andrews was sentenced to life in prison with no possibility of parole for 11 years.
