Police have warned people not to approach a near-naked prisoner who gave them the slip spectacularly today.
At one stage Werimu Rangi Hauraki was caught and handcuffed by police, but while being escorted he managed to dive from a balcony over a steep cliff head-first.
He escaped late this morning but police have not yet said how.
Officers on foot, police dogs and a helicopter were used to search for the dreadlocked Hauraki - and managed to corner him at least twice - but he evaded them each time, including the balcony incident.
"He is currently naked, except for some weed matting he is wearing, and handcuffed,'' acting Inspector Tony Jeurissen of Whakatane police said.
"Unfortunately he is being very evasive in very difficult terrain. This man is determined and does not want to be apprehended.''
Police are asking members of the public not to go near Hauraki if they see him but to contact them instead.
