A dangerous sex offender escaped from custody on his way back to prison from court.
Kamil Malag, 36, attended Nottingham Magistrates' Court yesterday to appeal a 15-week prison sentence for sexual assault.
After his unsuccessful appeal hearing, he was being driven back to HMP Hewell near Redditch at around 7.15 pm last night when he managed to give officers the slip.
Malag absconded from the back of the prison van as it travelled along Lichfield Road, Coleshill on the eastern outskirts of Birmingham.
He is described as white, around 6' tall, of medium build, with receding dark brown hair that is balding on top and brown eyes. He has a gold tooth and two tattoos on his neck, one of which says 'Tanesha'.
Malag is believed to be wearing blue jeans, a yellow t-shirt and grey trainers.
He has links to Smethwick, Warley and Handsworth.
Warwickshire Police is appealing for information about his whereabouts.
Detective Sergeant Adam Clifford said: "We are appealing for the public's help to find Kamil Malag, and would urge anyone who has seen him or has any information as to his whereabouts to please get in touch."
Anyone with any information is asked to call Warwickshire Police on 101 quoting reference 351 of 21 February. Information can also be provided to independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
