jail

highway.

He


threatened

, said the head of the Herstedvester detention center, Hanne Høegh Rasmussen, at a press conference in Albertslund, Denmark on Tuesday.



None of the employees were physically injured, but psychologically the situation was very stressful for those affected.

The Danish


tabloid "Ekstra Bladet" reported that Madsen had

threatened

a

psychologist

with a pistol-like object.

Police

investigator Mogens Lauridsen



also spoke of such an item

.

The police do not believe that it was a real weapon.

Madsen also

wore

something on his body

that looked like

a

bomb belt

.

But there are no indications that it actually contained explosives.

Madsen was caught trying to jump into a white van.

There is nothing to suggest that the driver knew the escapee.

Fortunately, Madsen was only at large for a relatively short period of time: at 10:21 a.m., the detention center reported the outbreak, and at 10:26 a.m. it was stopped.

who was

to life imprisonment

for

actually have a

gun

?

The hostage is said to have been a police psychologist.

On his

escape

, Madsen is said to have been traveling in a white van.

Copenhagen / Denmark: Submarine killer Madsen escapes from prison - it is now known how

Update from October 20, 2:30 p.m.:

Now there are more details about Peter Madsen's escape.

Danish media reports that the

submarine killer

forced

his way out of prison with the help of a

hostage

.

Accordingly, the killer of Kim Wall is

said to have had

his

psychologist

in his power, he apparently threatened to shoot her.

In order to minimize the danger to the woman, employees would then have opened the prison gate.

Shortly afterwards, the emergency services looked for

Madsen

and the area was cordoned off.

Madsen holed himself up on a street for about three hours, then access took place.

It

is not yet known

whether the man who killed

journalist Kim Wall

in a

submarine was

actually armed.

Update from October 20, 1:25 p.m.:

As the Danish media now unanimously report, the arrested man is said to be Peter Madsen.

Update from October 20, 1:20 p.m.:

As the Danish police now report, the man who escaped from prison is actually Peter Madsen.

However, he has since been

prevented from

escaping

.

It

is not yet known

whether Madsen is still

detained

outdoors, or whether the murderer of

journalist Kim Wall

has now been arrested.

Update from October 20, 1 p.m .:

As "Ekstra Bladet" now reports, Bent Isager-Nielsen, the former head of the national homicide squad, apparently expressed the fear that

Madsen could

actually detonate a bomb.

The

expert

justifies this

with the observation that a dog is also used in addition to the two emergency services.

This is said to be specialized in explosives.

Isager-Nielsen could therefore imagine that Madsen

wants to enforce

demands

.

It is still unclear whether the arrested person is actually Peter Madsen or whether the operation is currently ongoing.
