TORONTO, Ont. – Toronto police are searching for a suspect they say could be dangerous after he walked free from a downtown courthouse.

Police Jacob Allen Mann, 24, escaped the College Park court on Thursday by posing as another prisoner who was set to be released.

Mann is described as:

  • White
  • 147 lbs.
  • 5’8″
  • Slim build
  • Short brown hair
  • Tattoos on his forearms


He was facing charges of forcible confinement and assault for allegedly assaulting and confining a relative.

He’s now wanted for being unlawfully at large.

Police said Mann is considered dangerous because of past violent offences and are asking anyone who spots him to call 911.

The relative he’s accused of assaulting has also been alerted.
