In scenes resembling a Hollywood movie, a group of gunmen have stormed a hospital in Colombia to break out a prisoner who was being treated there.
According to local media, the men freed Alexander Urrego, who was at the hospital in Bogota for a check-up. Urrego was reportedly convicted and jailed for his part in a gangland killing back in 2011.
CCTV footage shows patients and visitors cowering to the floor as the masked men fire guns in the hospital foyer.
The gunmen fired on the building as they fled, and hospital staff and one security guard were injured in the incident.
A Colombian daily newspaper reported that four men have been since been arrested by police in connection with the escape.
Authorities have put up a reward of around $15,000 for information leading to the prisoner's re-capture.
