A major search operation is underway in south Wiltshire this evening after a ‘dangerous’ prisoner who has escaped while being treated at a local hospital.
Wiltshire police officers actively searching for Michal Kisiel, aged 30, a prisoner who has escaped from guards at Salisbury District Hospital.
Kisiel left the hospital at around 7pm this evening, Tuesday 30 May 2017 and requires treatment for a head wound.
He is described as white, 5’6 tall with blonde hair and of medium build with tattoos on his neck. He was wearing grey tracksuit bottoms and a black t-shirt with blue trainers.
He is believed to have a razor blade in his possession and is considered to be dangerous. The public are advised not to approach him for their own safety. If anyone sees a man matching the description they should call 999 immediately.
Police officers and police dogs are searching the area, and the helicopter has been tasked.
A key line of enquiry is the fact that this may well have been a pre-planned escape and Kisiel may have had assistance.
Inspector Martyn Sweett said: “My officers are doing everything they can to find Kisiel and we will keep the community updated. We ask that the public are vigilant and call us on 999 with any sightings but it is important that you do not approach him.”
Anyone with information is asked to call Wiltshire Police on 999.
