A robbery suspect who eluded police by jumping bail managed to escape again by jumping — this time from a third-floor hospital window and running three blocks on a broken ankle before being recaptured.
Damien Bell, suspected by police to be the Craigslist robber, had been arrested about 6:30 p.m. Sunday and was taken to Highland Hospital in Oakland for injuries suffered during the arrest and for shrapnel in his arm stemming from a May 5 struggle over a gun during a robbery, police said.
After being taken to an X-ray room, he bolted and ran, police said. Bell then jumped from a third-floor window and broke his ankle, but kept running for three blocks until police captured him, officials said.

How he figured he'd be in condition to run after jumping down even 15 feet is a mystery to me! Let alone like 30 feet or more! I'm glad his bail bondsman (assuming he had one) won't be "on the hook" for that entire bail amount now.
