Story summary

A manhunt has been launched in south London for Anthony Lloyd, a 38-year-old prisoner who escaped from a medical facility on Friday around 4:10 PM. Police describe Lloyd as white, approximately 5 feet 8 inches tall with short dark hair and was wearing a grey-blue t-shirt, black tracksuit bottoms, and white trainers when last seen heading towards Catford.

Lloyd previously served a 12-month sentence for actual bodily harm involving three emergency workers in Nottinghamshire. He had been transferred to the Lewisham medical facility in September. Detective Superintendent Melanie Pressley leads the operation and has warned that Lloyd poses a risk to himself and the public, urging anyone who spots him to call 999 immediately instead of approaching him directly.
