Video footage filmed by authorities at the station house showed a firemen using a hydraulic tool, known as the Jaws of Life, to pry the teenager out of the door.

The fireman carefully cut through the door as another firefighter served as his guide while the detainee's feet were resting on a chair.

It took the fire department nearly three hours to free him. 

Police Chief Rodolfo Farah told Carneiro News that the suspect had been in custody for not even two hours when he tried to flee the precinct.
